Lawmakers Demand Phone Records Answers From "Mr. Decider".

Source: Breitbart.com

Note to "Mr. Decider," a.k.a. President Bush: lawmakers want to know the truth, nothing but the truth, and the whole truth about the NSA collecting records of millions of ordinary Americans' phone calls to build a database of all calls within the country, so help you God.

Please spill the beans whenever you are ready, Mr. President??

Lawmakers demanded answers from the Bush administration Thursday about a spy agency secretly collecting records of millions of ordinary Americans' phone calls to build a database of all calls within the country.

Facing mounting congressional criticism, President Bush sought to assure Americans that their civil liberties were "fiercely protected."

The disclosure, reported in USA Today, could complicate Bush's bid to win confirmation of former National Security Agency Director Michael Hayden as CIA director. It also reignited concerns about privacy rights and touched off questions about the legal underpinnings for the government's actions and the diligence of the Republican-controlled Congress' oversight of a GOP administration.

"Everything that NSA does is lawful and very carefully done," Hayden said while making rounds at the Capitol to advocate for his confirmation. "The appropriate members of the Congress -- the House and Senate -- are briefed on all NSA activities."

The top-ranking Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee said he was shocked by the reported activities.

"It's not one party's government. It's America's government. Those entrusted with great power have a duty to answer to Americans what they are doing," said Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont.

Go ahead, shoot. Please explain this latest high crime when you are ready and willing.

Thanks, once again,
The people (the real deciders here!).
