As recently as Friday, when he was interviewed by Jim Lehrer of PBS, Mr. Bush refused to confirm the report the previous evening in The New York Times that in 2002 he authorized the spying operation by the security agency, which is usually barred from intercepting domestic communications. While not denying the report, he called it "speculation" and said he did not "talk about ongoing intelligence operations."

But as the clamor over the revelation rose and Vice President Dick Cheney and Andrew H. Card Jr., the White House chief of staff, went to Capitol Hill on Friday to answer charges that the program was an illegal assumption of presidential powers, even in a time of war, Mr. Bush and his senior aides decided to abandon that approach.

There was a photo of Bush on the cover of the USA Today this morning. It made me ill and I had to clutch the corner of the paperbox to keep from stumbling.

The man makes me that sick.

Wire taps roasting on an open fire,
Press hounds nipping at his nose.
Clever spin, being told by a liar
Written in a backroom by some pro's

Everybody knows a turkey that spends lots of dough
Helps to make the spying right
The CIA, with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight......

And so, I'm offering this simple phrase
In hopes it soon becomes a fact
Though it's been said, many times many ways
We are winning
In Iraq

Nice, you two...

I love the way Bush, after denying the spying, is now turning it into a positive. "It's for your own good."

So reassuriing, our leader...

Senator says she's asked for opinions on Bush impeachment
RAW STORY

Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) has become the first in the Senate to raise consideration of impeachment of President George W. Bush for authorizing spying on Americans without warrants, RAW STORY has learned.

In a release issued this evening, Boxer said she's asked "four presidential scholars" for their opinion on impeachment after former White Housel counsel John Dean -- made famous by his role in revealing the Watergate tapes -- asserted that President Bush had 'admitted' to an 'impeachable offense.'

Boxer isn't the first congressmember today to float the word. Earlier today, Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) said Bush should be impeached if he broke the law in the spying program. The liberal California senator has tangled with Bush before -- earlier this year, she challenged the president's Ohio electoral votes.

Democrats plan sharp rebuke of pre-war intelligence, Iraq war in massive new congressional report
Larisa Alexandrovna and John Byrne

House Judiciary Committee Democrats, spearheaded by Congressman John Conyers (D-MI), are set to release possibly the sharpest congressional critique to date surrounding Iraq, RAW STORY has learned.

The report, titled "The Constitution in Crisis: The Downing Street Minutes and Deception, Manipulation, Torture, Retribution and Coverups in the Iraq War," is slotted to be made available to the public Tuesday. RAW STORY acquired a copy of the book's cover and some additional information about the document today.
