Why Didn't Bush Seek Law Formalizing His Authority?
Share
Bush: "An open debate about law would say to the enemy 'here's what we're going to do.'"
If the threat is so great, why not monitor calls within the country?
"We will, within current law, if we have to. And that's why there is a FISA law. And there's a diffrence between detecting so we can prevent and monitoring and it's important to know the difference between to do."
Does Bush support an independent investigation?
"There are two committes on the Hill which are responsible. Public hearings on programs will say to the enemy: here's what they do....adjust. This is a war."
