Shouldnt Bush be impeached for spying on US citize

How this all ties in with protection from terrorism is indeed a difficult question, but it's one that the Bush administration has utterly failed to grasp.

You can't protect from terrorism. The no nail clippers idiocy on airline flights was an exercise in seeing how far the sheep would let themselves be harrassed.

The only way to defeat terrorism is if you pre empt it, or if they get the drop on you, clean up the mess and retaliate. (No, the pre emptive war on Iraq was not a pre emption of a terrorist group.)

As in football: versus a terrorist group the only effective defense is a good offense. Hunt them down and kill them, or hunt them down and capture them, (I prefer the former, but I understand those who approach terrorists as criminals). Time is the terrorist's ally and your enemy.

As to the credibility of the Bush team on their "trust me, we are being mindful of protections as we pursue the enemy" I'd be more willing to trust them if the blatant falsehoods weren't so common. For example, see the Washington Post
December 22, 2005 article by Glenn Kesslre entitled File The Bin Laden Phone Leak Under 'Urban Myths', or the attempt to equate the Iraq post war effort with the Japan post WW II effort wherein The Government is power (the Emperor at any rate) was the same as the pre war, and wartime, government and had support of many of the people. There is no such trust, nor continuity, in Iraq, yet the White House vomits forth idiotic reasoning such as this. Nothing new, the most inelegant rhetoric seen from Washington since Zachary Taylor tried to give a speech while suffering from laryngitis. <_<

Powell's remarks were general, which I disagree with, yours are specific to the Bush administration, who have given you ample cause to carry around immense boulders of salt to take with every public utterance they spew forth.

Go ahead, impeach George W Bush, and convict him in the Senate. It could work.

Then roll out the red carpet and welcome Dick Cheney as President.

Are you sure you can handle that? Who do you think the brains behind this administration is? It ain't the Shrub. :whistling:
