Powell Supports Government Eavesdropping

Frankly, I don't give a rat's ass who "supports" warrantless searches: that doesn't make them any less unconstitutional.

Bush claims to be a "conservative", one who wishes to restrict government power. But he's showing his true colors - he's as much in favor of expansion of State power as is Teddy Kennedy. I find it bitterly ironic that he's also spending us into oblivion as he crushes our liberty: if this man's a conservative (and I mean on the order of Barry Goldwater or even Ronnie Reagan) then I'm a duckbill platypus.

AP - Former Secretary of State Colin Powell on Sunday supported government eavesdropping to prevent terrorism but said a major controversy over presidential powers could have been avoided by obtaining court warrants.
