George H.W. Bush Teaches George W. Bush
When Gerald Ford was president he did not want to have warrantless spying on American citizens. This position was fought by George H.W. Bush (Baby's father), who was head of the CIA, Dick Cheney, who was Sect. of Defense, and Henry Kissinger, who was Sect. of State. The following information has come out.
George H.W. Bush, then director of the CIA, wanted to ensure "no unnecessary diminution of collection of important foreign intelligence" under the proposal to require judges to approve terror wiretaps, according to a March 1976 memorandum he wrote to the Justice Department. Bush also complained that some major communications companies were unwilling to install government wiretaps without a judge's approval. Such a refusal "seriously affects the capabilities of the intelligence community," Bush wrote.
It must be genetic. And the cast of characters hasn't changed.
