Contrary to Bush's assertion that he authorized syping on Americans after the 911 attacks, he approved of these activities as soon as he took office. Early in 2001, the NSA advised Bush that they were engaging in these activities, and Bush approved. The question here is whether this began with Bush or with Clinton. If Clinton also allowed this to happen, then he must also be held accountable. There should be an investigation into the following:
1) Bush's lie that this only began after 911.
2) NSA spying during Bush's tenure as president.
3) Whether or not Clinton also authorized NSA spying.
4) Whether any members of Congress were also aware of this, and gave their own tacit approval.
Bush should be called to the carpet for his actions, and if Clinton was also involved, he should be called to the carpet as well. Presidents, as well as legislators, are not elites. They are servants, who are given their jobs by the American people. The American people hire them, and the American people have the right to fire them.
