Scandal Emerges Over US Wire Taps

Wha?
One News - President George W. Bush refused to discuss a report that he secretly authorized a US agency to eavesdrop on people in America but said everything he does to protect the public against terrorism is within the law.

The New York Times said Bush signed a secret presidential order after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks to allow the National Security Agency to track the international telephone calls and emails of hundreds of people without the court approval normally required for domestic spying.
Uh, didn't "Tricky Dick" get himself into a bunch of hotwater for illegal wire taps?

Is history repeating itself?
