Bush's Legal Advisors

Dear editor:

Mr. Bush claims that he has legal grounds to instruct the NSA to listen in to phone conversations and read emails of American citizens within the confines of the United States. This is called “domestic surveillance” and is illegal according to law.

Let’s see who gave him legal advice to the contrary. First there is Attorney General Gonzales, who was appointed by Bush and is an old friend from Texas. Next there is the White House counsel, who was also appointed by Bush and is considered “his attorney.” What do you expect them to say? They won’t go against the man who holds the purse strings and the power to get rid of them if they disagree with his wishes.
