Bush says ‘civil liberties were guaranteed’ under his NSA Internet surveillance

I believe Bush in the sense that Cheney et. al. probably told Bush that Americans' rights were not being abused, and Bush believed them.

What's shocking about this...is I actually believe Bush and understand why he approved the surveillance in the first place.

Only problem I have with this article is this statement is misdirected: "I think he damaged the security of the country."
