The law requires that Bush be investigated

Rutland Herald: Rutland Vermont News & Information:

"President Bush would do himself and the nation a lot more good if he told the truth about what the government is doing. Instead, he has established a pattern of half-truths, evasions and outright falsehoods that has damaged the credibility of his administration and the nation.

The latest example is the recent revelation about the National Security Agency program of monitoring the phone calls of tens of millions of Americans. When the NSA's electronic eavesdropping became known late last year, Bush assured Americans that NSA spying was restricted to people in the United States who were making or receiving international calls. The focus, we were told, was on al-Qaida. Shortly, afterward we learned that the NSA had inadvertently monitored some domestic phone calls, and we were led to believe that was a mistake.

Now we have learned that NSA is tracking, or trying to track, virtually all phone calls. Do you have a friend from Afghanistan? Does he make calls to Afghanistan? You are part of a web of phone calls that may be getting special attention from the government."
