"Neither you nor anybody in that (Quaker) church had anything to do with terrorism," said Rep. Robert Wexler, D-Fla. "The fact is, the Truth Project may have a philosophy that is adverse to the political philosophy and goals of the president of the United States. And as a result of that different philosophy, the president and the secretary of defense ordered that your group be spied upon.Impeach the Bastard!
"There should not be a single American who today remains confident that it couldn't happen to them."

Once again, G, a selective interpretation of the facts, and, without proof that spying actually occurred (BTW, an accusation isn't truth, just because you believe it), I reserve judgment here. What is known is that TALON gathers raw data, which is analyzed. Some data is public source, and no one needs a warrant to go dumpster diving or to hear a "concerned" caller provide a tip. Then, information must be verified, which means actually checking up and determined, lo and behold, that there isn't any "there" there. What you libs find objectionable is that (1) someone has the temerity to go and find out if the analysis actually means something (and in 99.999% of the cases, it doesn't), and (2) that (2) we aren't using our God-given clairvoyance to see in advance that certain "threats" are not really threats.
Would that we had that tank of precogs from Minority Report to mystically see the future, then we would not need to send someone out to see if the fulminating of some Birkenstockers is merely that, or something more sinister. But we do not have precogs, and if we did, I am certain a Dem administration would use them to spy on the innermost thoughts of americans, possibly so that they can stamp out such threats as intolerance or profit motives, both of which would be felonies in a Michael Moore administration.
But, as for impeachment, I am there, if an investigation turns up a crime not covered by some doctrine of qualified immunity. If Clinton can be impeached for his felony (and lying under oath is a felony), then Bush should not fare differently. Be advised however, that an action by the administration under color of law, even if wrong and a violation of one's civil rights, does not always rise to the level of a crime. We would have to show that a law existed and he broke it. Thus far, that is still in doubt, and Congress has unhelpfully not clarified the issue, which they could do if they so chose. So, show me a crime and I will holler for impeachment too!
