Spying question

[whosinpower]

Since Mr. Bush is coming out strong stating that his spying program is legal because it is limited to targeting Al Quaida information........

How does this fit when we have heard that the pentagon (?) is currently spying on anti-war quakers or anti war groups?????

I'm confused......the ACLU is accusing the FBI of spying on groups that critisize Bush policies......is this not the same thing as the NSA scandal? Is it different?

1. Don't forget that the wiretapping began pre-9/11.

I'd like a specific answer with regard to the groups and people who were spied on before we were worried about terr'ists.

2. Bush takes office - illegal wiretapping begins - and we still get 9/11

I Don't see how illigal wiretapping is making me safer.
