WASHINGTON (AP) -- Congressional Democrats demanded answers from the Bush administration Thursday about a report that the government secretly collected records of ordinary Americans' phone calls to build a database of every call made within the country.
"It is our government, it's not one party's government. It's America's government. Those entrusted with great power have a duty to answer to Americans what they are doing," said Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee.


so not only are they illegally wiretapping american citizen's phone calls to overseas, they are keeping a running tally on ALL the US citizens phone records. yeah, big brother got here and noone noticed. have fun. this next election will tell us whether we still live in a representative democracy or whether the assholes entrenched in power will succed in forcing us into a totalitarian police state. all it would take, and you know they ahve thougt of this, is to get another brainwahsed arab guy to try and blow up the washington monument andthen they can declare a police state and entrench dubya bush as presidente for life "until the national calamity is overcome" meaning NEVER
