"I'd like to hear from the leaders of Congress, both Republican and Democrat, who, according to reports, we're briefed on this and agreed to it," he told "This Week." "They didn't raise any objection, apparently, to [whether] there was a, quote, violation of law."
Asked about House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's claim that she "raised concerns" about granting the NSA new powers during one meeting with White House officials, McCain said: "I don't know about any meetings, but I certainly never heard complaints from anyone on either side of the aisle.
The selective memories of these people is unbelievable.

I've finally figured out why they're in an uproar.. Since the targets of the calls were terrorist sympathizers and their supporters, Nancy Pelosi, Howard Dean, John Kerry and others are worried that there might be more than a few of their own phone calls tucked away in a NSA vault, or worse, in George W Bush's desk.

Pelosi is such a ditzy broad, she can't remember what happened yesterday. You've just got to blow off anything she says.

Anyone get the feeling they are grooming McCain for a 08 run?

McCain knows this will come back to bite the Dems in the ass, it has already been shown to be BS, Pelosi backtracked and tried to make it seem like she disagreed at the time she was informed but we know that is BS also. Records are kept of these things and it is easy enough to prove that the meetings took place and who was present.
The Dems are not used to the President fighting back, and I hope he keeps it up.

McCain said the fact that congressional leaders - including top Democrats - were consulted on the NSA authorization "is a very important part of this equation." He suggested that any congressional hearings into the Bush decision focus on that aspect. I suggest that they focus on the identity of the traitor that leaked this to the media, and his trial and public execution.

"When this process was being carried out I would imagine that the leaders of Congress would be very concerned about any violation of law as well," he said. "Apparently [those concerns have] not been raised until it was published in the New York Times." Weren't the RATS in charge of the Senate in 2002?

We already know that Rockefeller has had contacts with our enemies. I bet a lot of these leaks start right in his office.

McCain is such an opportunistic windbag.
To: wagglebee
Sen. John McCain disappointed Democrats on Capitol Hill on Sunday by defending the Bush administration's decision to use the National Security Agency to monitor a limited number of domestic phone calls in the wake of the 9/11 attacks.
Can we say McCain for President 08?
IMO that's the reason for this.

What else would McCain say, he repealed the First Amendment, and now he wants to repeal the Fourth. I rather have no republic than one filled with slaves.
