Even Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter admits the policy of the NSA wiretapping the private phone conversations of private U.S. citizens could be a violation of law and grounds for impeachment of or criminal charges against "President" Bush. Numerous legal scholars with no particular political bias say the administration is standing on shaky ground on claiming these wiretaps are legal. The Bush administration has steadfastly claimed these wiretaps have only been done to find "suspected members of Al Quaeda and their affiliates". But after 5 years of continuous lies, distortions, and secrecy, most of the American public stopped believing a word this President said a long time ago. Additionally, the administration has provided no proof whatsoever that any of the people they have spied on have any terrorist ties whatsoever. For all we know, the Bush administration is spying on political dissenters and war protestors...they have made it abundantly clear that they consider "terrorists" to be anybody who opposes their imperialistic, destructive, ineffective policies. The irony of all this is the same administration that thinks it has a divine right to spy on innocent U.S. citizens is also the administration shrouded in by far the most secrecy of any previous presidential administration. The Bush administration feels it has the right to watch our lives through a two-way mirror while their own actions are often shrouded in secrecy. As American citizens, we should not stand for this unacceptably corrupt and criminal standard of behavior. It should be made known to any GOP congressman who opposes an impeachment hearing that he will be a political casualty in the next election cycle. This is America, not Stalinist Russia, and it is time for the GOP to be reminded of this fundamental fact.
