- The National Security Agency advised President
Bush in early 2001 that it had been eavesdropping on

data-mining activities began shortly after Bush was sworn in
as president and the document contradicts his assertion that
the 9/11 attacks prompted him to take the unprecedented step
of signing a secret executive order authorizing the NSA to
monitor a select number of American citizens thought to have
ties to terrorist groups. See... Bush

presidential power to override any laws, and even to cancel
our constitutionally-guaranteed civil liberties, because the
US is at war. See... E.A.
