6. I had always assumed that the U.S. Gov't always listened in and looked at everything anyway.
Regardless of which flavor was in control.

I also knew BushCo & Republicans, Inc. were too greedy and unethical to refrain from spying on their opponents.

8. I always figured they were WAAAYYYYY more interested in spying
on their opposition than they were on any frickin' "terrorists".
