In my opinion, the media has universally oversimplified the whole wiretap issue.

Where does it end? And we hear these neo-cons and right wing media fun boy's tell us, "if you question the authority of this administration, your a national threat. You should be incarserated and punished". I'm sorry, but when did Thomas Jefferson step in and tell us that if we, as american people, question our government, we deserve incarceration or death? When did Adams, Madison, Edison, any of our founding fathers say this?
BTW, I'm agreing w/ u tiger, just making a point to the rest of us.
