Why did Bill Clinton come up? I don't care if Jesus Christ authorized it, it's still violates the most basic civil liberties.
But if you want to get political, the Bush administration made sweeping, unprecedented changes to make this sort of thing more possible and promised us that exactly this type of thing WOULD NOT happen. In fact Bush himself stood in front of the American people on national television and said that only al queda and their affiliates would be intercepted.
Not to mention, these are only 2 people. If these low level grunts were doing it, I can only imagine what was happening higher up.
