Just days after the New York Times released classified information about eavesdropping by the NSA on Americans linked to international terrorists, President George Bush at a news conference today announced creation of a new website which allows people to voluntarily exclude their phone numbers and email addresses from NSA wiretap lists.
The new National Do Not Wiretap Registry (DoNotWiretap.gov) follows the successful DoNotCall.gov model of allowing citizens to opt-out of harassment by electronic means.
“If you’re concerned that your civil rights might be violated simply because some al Qaeda member has your information in his cellphone or computer,” the president said, “then go to DoNotWiretap.gov, enter your contact phone number, email address, and names of terrorists who might have you on speed dial and we’ll let the National Security Administration know that you don’t want them eavesdropping on you.”

I'd rather be wire-tapped than strip-searched at the airport. Does he plan to have a "no strip-search" list soon?

Unofotunately the humor here is tempered by the damage done to our national security by the traitor who leaked the information to the NY Times and the treasonous actions of the NY Times in publishing it.

This is consistent with the Clinton policy of using domestic intelligence assets only to watch white male Republicans.

This unfairly impacts the business of al-Qaeda telemarketers.

Of course, like the Do Not Call list, the feds will exempt themselves...

This whole "controvery" is a joke...I'd be mad if I found out they weren't intercepting these calls!
To: NYTexan
Exempting yourself will confirm you are a terrorist.

ROFL! You know, some Democrats are so dumb (witness the ones who believe that Republicans put up signs saying "Democrats should vote on Wednesday") that I'll bet some of them would believe this.
