This is from December 30, 2005, but it's a good read on the domestic wiretapping issue. John Dean (yes that John Dean) claims George W. Bush as the New Richard M. Nixon
"There can be no serious question that warrantless wiretapping, in violation of the law, is impeachable. After all, Nixon was charged in Article II of his bill of impeachment with illegal wiretapping for what he, too, claimed were national security reasons."
"Indeed, here, Bush may have outdone Nixon: Nixon's illegal surveillance was limited; Bush's, it is developing, may be extraordinarily broad in scope...later reports have suggested that NSA is "data mining" literally millions of calls...In sum, this is big-time, Big Brother electronic surveillance."
