Bush: Believe (This Lie) That We're Not Eavesdropping

From the AP:

WASHINGTON - President Bush insisted Tuesday that the United States does not listen in on domestic telephone conversations among ordinary Americans. But he declined to specifically discuss the government’s alleged compiling of phone records, or whether it would amount to an invasion of privacy.

“We do not listen to domestic phone calls without court approval,” Bush said in an East Room news conference with Australian Prime Minister John Howard.

“What I’ve told the American people is we’ll protect them against an al-Qaida attack. And we’ll do that within the law,” Bush said.

May I point out that while he insists he's telling the truth now (ha!), Mr. Bush said the only checks being done when the original story broke were those to overseas locations.

The man does not know how to tell the truth. He's never even been in the same state with the truth.
