I assume you're referring to the monitoring of American's overseas phone calls, in an effort to defend against possible attacks in the war on terror? I have no problem with calls to foreign countries being monitored if it means possibly thwarting an attack and saving lives.Lula wrote:yes the obama administration asked for emails to be forwarded. given the volume of false right wing spam emails posted on this forum regularly, id say it was a wise move.
So you oppose the above to thwart attacks and save lives, but it's a "wise move" for Obama to attempt to target Americans for his politial well being?Yeah, Bush should have had all cell phones being monitored flash in big red letters that their call may be monitored!Lula wrote:i always tell my students if you can't debate honestly, you've already lost........
at least obama's email forwarding policy was announced publicly. bush's violations were done under the cover of darkness.
asking for misinformation to be forwarded is not against any law. it is frequently done by political campaigns all the time. wiretaps that bypass the fisa courts was illegal.
Political campaigns are not the office of the Executive branch of the United States!!!!
