"We'll listen to ideas. But I want to make sure that people understand that if the attempt to write law makes this program -- is likely to expose the nature of the program, I'll resist it..."

"Bush told a White House news conference that the domestic spying program "is designed to protect civil liberties" and declared that "it's necessary.""

*blink*

"Democrats have accused the president of breaking the law in allowing eavesdropping on overseas communications to and from U.S. residents,"

"and some members of his own party have questioned the practice."
