Bush defends secret wiretapping of Americans (Times of London)

[redacted]

<snip>
Bush supporters, who had expected the president to bask in the success of the Iraqi elections for at least a day or two, are concerned that the White House’s credibility has taken a battering.

Edward Kennedy, the Democrat senator for Massachusetts, said: “They tell us, ‘Trust us, we follow the law.’ Give me a break.”

Under pressure from Congress, the White House was obliged to come to a deal last week with John McCain, the independent-minded Republican senator, over his bill banning cruel and inhuman treatment of detainees. A fresh assault on the issue of civil liberties followed.

“Republicans are very angry and unhappy,” said Byron York of the conservative journal National Review. “They feel they are in the middle of a giant struggle and it is not in Iraq but at home. Democrats have been aggressively pursuing the ‘Bush lied, people died’ strategy and it has hurt him.”
