What Bush's critics are saying - and some of them are RepublicansRINOs - is not that the government should stop electronic surveillance but that it should conduct these operations in accordance with the law, specifically the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978, which was written precisely to govern such surveillance.

In other words, they want to shut down the Terrorist Surveillance Program and go back to letting lawyers and judges decide how we gather intelligence on Al Qaeda. A "pre-9/11" mindset, these leftists have.
