Bush: Worse Than Nixon, and this guy should know.

The Bushites make Nixon look like a choir boy, albeit a paranoid one. If anyone believes that none of Bush's secret programs have been used to spy on political enemies, they must be the most naieve person on earth.

Don't forget, they have more of those secret programs than we have been told, yet.

The writer was on Richard Nixon's 'enemies list,' but Bush's power grab has him really worried.

THE BUSH administration's warrantless wiretapping program may have shocked and surprised many Americans when it was revealed in December, but to me, it provoked a case of deja vu.

The Nixon administration bugged my home phone, without a warrant, beginning in 1973, when I was on the staff of the National Security Council, and kept the wiretap on for 21 months. Why? My boss, national security advisor Henry Kissinger, and FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover believed that I might have leaked some information to the New York Times. When I left the government a few months later and went to work on Edmund Muskie's presidential campaign (and began actively working to end the war in Vietnam), the FBI continued to listen in and made periodic reports on everything it heard to President Nixon and his closest associates in the White House.
