No surprise, Dubya LIED about why (and when) he ordered illegal wiretapping.

We recently learned that Bush had ordered the illegal NSA wiretapping well BEFORE the 9/11 attacks. Why is that important, beyond the obvious? Because King Dubya said that it was 9/11 that prompted him to take such drastic steps to protect America from further terrorist attacks.

Either Bush flat out LIED, or he has precognition (which is a whole 'nother conspiracy theory). Because there's no way he could have started illegal wiretapping in early 2001 because of attacks in late 2001.

So now we have to go back and ask the habitual liar (far worse than Clinton and Nixon combined) to provide another reason why he authorized illegal wiretaps of U.S. citizens. I fully expect the Reagan defense this time: "uh, I don't recall..."
