Bush: Government is Within the Law

On the NSA terrorist surveillance program. This is from Fox News:

President Bush on Thursday denied that the U.S. government is operating outside the law in its intelligence gathering programs and he ignored charges in a newspaper report that the National Security Agency is tracking the calling patterns of millions of Americans.
"The privacy of ordinary Americans is fiercely protected in all our activities," Bush said from the Diplomatic Room of the White House. "We're not mining or trolling through the personal lives of millions of innocent Americans."
In Thursday editions, USA Today reported that telephone calling patterns of millions of Americans are being tracked by NSA, with the help of three of the nation's largest telephone companies.

The government sometimes has to take extreme measures to protect us from radicals, and I say, God-speed NSA!
