I just love this bit from Bush's radio address:
During each assessment, previous activities under the authorization are reviewed. The review includes approval by our nation's top legal officials, including the attorney general and the counsel to the president. I have reauthorized this program more than 30 times since the September the 11th attacks, and I intend to do so for as long as our nation faces a continuing threat from al-Qaida and related groups.
So fear not, civil libertarians, Alberto Gonzales and Harriet Miers are on the case. With their devastating combination of slavish devotion and occupational reliance on George W. Bush, there's absolutely nothing to worry about here. More tireless watchdogs simply do not exist (at least at Bush's poker nights).
Man, no wonder he wants them on the Supreme Court.
