I received an article from a friend in Colorado. The article was from the Colorado Daily. The article troubled me a great deal. There was a 2004 quote from President Bush concerning the administration’s approach to wire tapping. Here’s the quote — Quote from Bush in 2004 — “A wiretap requires a court order,” President Bush declared in a statement in 2004. He added, “When we’re talking about chasing down terrorists, we’re talking about getting a court order when we do so. It’s important for our fellow citizens to understand [that] constitutional guarantees are in place… because we value the Constitution.” To me this is such a big deal and the President is the one that evidently said this. I’d like to know what you think about this issue and if your aware of the quote.
