But hey, he has <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051217/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush;_ylt=AiaAhTnbuPNKcvp_znMo.t6s0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTA2Z2szazkxBHNlYwN0bQ--">good reason</a>:</span><br /><blockquote style="font-family: courier new;">Bush defended the program as narrowly designed and used "consistent with U.S. law and the Constitution." <span style="font-weight: bold;">He said it is employed only to intercept the international communications of people inside the U.S. who have been determined to have "a clear link" to al-Qaida or related terrorist organizations.</span><br /><br />Government officials have refused to provide details, including defining the standards used to establish such a link or saying how many people are being monitored.</blockquote><br /><span style="font-family: courier new;">Remember the last time he said someone was clearly linked to al-Qaida? Anyone? Anyone? Beuler?</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: courier new;">Here's a hint. It rhymes with:</span><br /> <br /> <a style="font-family: courier new;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.fas.org/nuke/guide/iraq/facility/mp_iraq.gif"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://www.fas.org/nuke/guide/iraq/facility/mp_iraq.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /> <span style="font-family: courier new;">If anyone buys this from this administration without ANY PROOF let me know because I owe them a punch in the face. Thanks.<br /><br />Also,<br /><br /></span><blockquote style="font-family: courier new;">The president had harsh words for those who revealed the program to the media, saying they acted improperly and illegally. The surveillance was first disclosed in Friday's New York Times.<br /> <br />"As a result, our enemies have learned information they should not have," Bush said. "The unauthorized disclosure of this effort damages our national security and puts our citizens at risk."</blockquote><br /> <span style="font-family: courier new;">So now he's worried about </span><a style="font-family: courier new;" href="http://www.jossip.com/gossip/200507_scottmcclellan2.jpg">unathorized disclosure</a><span style="font-family: courier new;">...
