John McCain: Bush Right to Use NSA (NewsMax, 12/18/05)
Sen. John McCain disappointed Democrats on Capitol Hill on Sunday by defending the Bush administration's decision to use the National Security Agency to monitor a limited number of domestic phone calls in the wake of the 9/11 attacks.Posted by Orrin Judd at December 18, 2005 4:17 PMSaying that Sept. 11 "changed everything," McCain told ABC's "This Week": "The president, I think, has the right to do this."
"We all know that since Sept. 11 we have new challenges with enemies that exist within the United States of America - so the equation has changed."
Your move, Giuliani.

The next president who suffers in the polls for taking a hard line against our enemies will be the first.
