But, but we can't have Bush listening in on our phone calls!!!

I would guess that the interception of that phone call came without probable cause or the blessing of a magistrate.

The president of the United States is the commander in chief of the Armed Forces and is required by Constitution and oath to protect the US in real time.

I guarantee you that if this phone call had been brought before a magistrate and in the meantime airliners had been blown up, the media would blame the president. (unless it was a democrat president.)
