There is nothing wrong with the President of the United States breaking the law, however the fact that it has been reported is a 'shameful act'. And the President vows to continue breaking the law.
Are we going to do something/care about this, or are we just sloughing towards tyranny?
Bush says leaking spy program a 'shameful act'
President vows to continue domestic eavesdropping
President Bush on Monday said disclosure of his domestic eavesdropping program was a “shameful act” and said he will keep using it “for so long as the nation faces the continuing threat of an enemy that wants to kill American citizens.”
“As president of the United States and commander in chief I have the constitutional responsibility and the constitutional authority to protect our country,” he said in an opening statement at a year-end news conference.
Asked if the Justice Department would be investigating who leaked the existence of the program, first disclosed last Friday by The New York Times, Bush said he presumed the process had started.
“It was a shameful act for someone to disclose this important program in a time of war. The fact that we’re discussing this program is helping the enemy,” he said at the White House event.
