Another poll with a misleading title (not the thread).. the spying was done on calls and e-mails that originated or terminated internationally. This changes the entire legal stance of this issue.
I'm dropping an e-mail to the station, I would suggest we keep up the offense and not let this false reality (domestic spying) continue.

looks like there are many who still don't realize we are at war and there are barbarians who want us all DEAD!

maybe the 'Rats & the Lefties in the media need a little history lesson on the Codebreakers of WWII...

They should have notified the targets first so their rights wouldn't be violated.

What a joke the wording of that poll is, I wonder if the wording were "Is President Bush justified to order wiretaps on known Al Quaeda associates when their calls are to or from the USA".

I wonder how that poll would be recieved?

IMO... it should have been just a yes... or no poll.

This is a deceptive question. A yes or no vote implies he did something illegal when no such thing has been proven.

Several points: Bush is following the correct legal procedures, the Attorney General said.
So, the answer is not "No, the president ...." It's "Yes, the president should continue his policy of doing everything legally."
Second point, that's President Bush to you lowly, lying, biased, underpaid, lucky-to-still have a job in a business you are destroying creeps.
I feel better now.

If the poll was correctly titled Was Bush right to OK secret international spying?, would that change your vote?

The poll is based on biased assumptions. The President followed the law.

Better stated that only 38% are against this. That means 62% are NOT opposed.
