I thought his intent was to defend the country.  What limit should he go 
to in order to ensure we are never attacked again ?  To all those who 
would bash Bush for defending this country I say "Bring on the charges  
and prove anything he is doing is not in defense of this country."  
Queue the crickets.  OTOH the Clintons broke many privacy laws to attack 
their political enemies.  Selfish acts.
