I think we need to wake up in America. The fact that we are discussing whether Newsweek's article concerning President Bush's authorization of electronic surveillance this Sunday morning threaten National Security, is beyond the realm of reason.

Does President Bush believe the people of the United States and our so called "enemies of our country" are gullible? To New York Times' credit, who does not know our government investigates us and other through electronic surveillance? How do think they gather intelligence on folks or verify information that informants gave us? No one is just getting information about an impending terrorist attack by accident! The fact that President Bush ordered surveillance on certain people in this country since 9-11, should be no surprise. I honestly believe most Americans knew that eavesdropping was real, not just something on a episode of X-Files or other similar shows involving government agencies.

If anything, the New York Times' just brought the rest of the Americans out of the stone age, who still believe "Big Brother," the government is not watching them. I really doubt that "enemies of our country" never suspected that President Bush's Administration was attempting to spy on their possible attack missions against American interests. Our National Security has not been compromised by the New York Times' Article, because specific investigations that are or may be going on, have not been revealed.

As long as the Bush Administration does not decide to investigate individuals due to unpopular speech, then I can understand the possible, private intrusion, as a consequence of protecting our National Security. People are no longer clueless in regards to what governments may do, in order to protect the Nation. Give us some credit, and there is no reason to attack the New York Times on this article.
