I smell Rove all over this.
I think the Dems are being had. Sound corny?
Here is why...
George keeps talking monitoring not surveilling.
If they are running mail, email and phone calls through an electronic (probably Baysean) filter then that is exactly what they have been doing and it has not been demonstrated that it is illegal or amounts to "unreasonable search".
So the pot comes closer and closer to the boll - until Rove tunrs the gas off. Leaving the Dems, the people who question Bush, the judges all with egg on their face. And you are one large step closer to a dictatorship. Who will credibly question him again?
This may not be true but it is a real and present danger.
