Report: Bush surveillance program was massive - Yahoo! News

I knew it. OK, I didn't KNOW it, but I had one of those gut feelings that you get when you suspect someone or some entity is lying to you. In this case the Bush administration just decided that they knew better than everybody else - including our founding fathers - when they circumvented the law to fit their desires.

Will anyone do anything about it? I mean something other than put a committee together to talk about it. I mean hold someone responsible. I would feel better if there was at least a scapegoat. Where is Ollie North when you need him? Apparently, this Bush administration didn't have anyone with that much character and backbone. Someone to stand up and say I take responsibility for this. Shoot, the Ex-Vice President even feels he is above the law and never goes to court when he is subpoenaed. Which is fine, except, if you or I did that we would go to jail for contempt. Why are there two sets of laws in this country - one for the rich and powerful and one for the rest of us? I thought there was something about "of the people, by the people, for the people...". I guess that we need a Clinton to help us with the definition of "people"...
