First Lady Approves of Extra-Legal Spying
First Lady Laura Bush thinks the NSA warrantless eavesdropping program is a good idea.
"I think the American people expect the United States government and the president to do what they can to make sure there's not an attack by foreign terrorists," Mrs. Bush said just before landing here to begin a four-day stay in West Africa.
President Bush is concerned that media disclosure of the program will cripple work to foil terrorists, she said. "I think he was worried that it would undermine our efforts by alerting terrorists to what our efforts are," Mrs. Bush said.
And she's supposed to be the smart one in the family.
Sheesh.
