NSA: Revealing how many Americans we've spied on would violate their privacy.

This is the kind of argument I expect from the Idiot in Chief Bush. The NSA admits they spy on Americans, in direct violation of how many laws, and then claims they can't tell you how many, because it would violate the privacy of the Americans they are spying on.

Now, I don't know which Bush crony is still at the NSA, but we need him fired. The right to privacy isn't set up to keep them from informing you that you're being spied upon. It's to keep them from SPYING ON YOU.

Why are we protecting Bush? Why aren't we telling the world that they did this?
