Bush Defends Legality of Domestic Spy Program

Right now if Dubya got on the tube and announced that the sky was blue I'd have to run outside and check. This is not a credibility gap, this is a complete lack of credibility. He's apparently incapable of either telling the truth or holding an oath.

According to this piece, even John Ashcroft "appeared reluctant to sign on to the continued use of the program" ... and given Ashcroft's deserved reputation as no friend of Constitutional rights, that speaks reams about the legality of the program.

President Bush today also denied that he had misled the public last year when he asserted that any government wiretap required a court order.
