Alpharetta lawyer sues Bush over wiretaps

An Alpharetta man filed a federal lawsuit on Friday against President Bush, claiming the administration's secret wiretapping program aimed at nabbing terrorists is unconstitutional.
Mark Guzzi, 40, claims that the government's surveillance of telephone and Internet communications violates his First Amendment protection of free speech and the Fourth Amendment's right to privacy. Guzzi is a lawyer for the state Department of Corrections, but he said he filed the lawsuit as a private citizen.
The lawsuit names President Bush, the National Security Agency and the NSA's director as defendants.

Guzzi said Friday he has developed friendships overseas, before the 2001 terrorist attacks, and worries that communications with those friends are being monitored.

It was not unusual for him to discuss topics such as the mindset of terrorists, suicide bombings, the United States' approach to the war on terror, the war in Iraq and other related subjects in the course of a typical conversation — particularly since his friends are both of Middle Eastern descent, he said.

Guzzi said he has no way of knowing whether he was actually monitored, since the program is secret.

Guzzi emphasized that his lawsuit has nothing to do with his position as assistant general counsel — the No. 2 lawyer — for the Georgia Department of Corrections. Guzzi also said the lawsuit is not politically motivated and that he supports the war on terror and the goal of apprehending terrorists. He simply objects to the wiretapping, claiming that the administration is pursuing terrorists at the expense of his civil liberties and the American form of government.

Exactly which part of the 'Patriot" Act do you disagree with?
Well, we have established that he is a liar.
Able Danger revealed that data mining is a technique used by the government. He didn't file any lawsuits until the NYT and the demonrats decided to make an issue of it.
You know which parts. Are you stupid or are you being coy?
Well if he's not talking to a know terrorist or even a suspected one, he has nothing to worry about does he?
Yep. He's apparently worried about what was said with his 'friends of Middle Eastern descent'. When guilty, sue.
I have seen this guy in action. Tilts at windmills a lot and is on the go to list for the local rag AJC.
Moonbat material.
Geez... first ole Jimmy praises Hamas for joining the "political process" and now this idiot. I promise that not all Georgians are this stupid....
And yet he's sweating. LOL
I guess I am being stupid, that is why I am asking which parts.
Maybe but it would be a big gamble. If you're correct, he may feel that if the court ruled the info was obtained illegaly, it then couldn't be used against him.
Unfortunately for him it was and it will.
It should be a class action lawsuit. Too bad there are not many REAL conservatives left. Our freedoms are slipping away.
No standing, you have to prove YOU HAVE BEEN HARMED BEFORE YOU CAN SUE. Next.
You want the freedom to talk about bombs with terrorists and not be heard electronically?
FOX's Judge Napolitano commented on another similar suit the other day. He said that one must not "blindly" put forth a suit, but prove that there was some kind of damage done, I think.
But some are sure working hard on being that stupid...All I have to say is Vernon Jones.
