Why is that when the Pres. did the phone tapping thing everybody flipped out. But when hackers steal your personal info, or private investigators fraudulantly obtain your your phone records, credit card info, bank info, video tape you, etc, etc, no one says a word? Would it be fair to say then that the latter poses a bigger threat to you than the President?

I agree with you. If someone say stole your social security number, that would be a far bigger deal then the remote possiablity of being tapped

But what gets me, is that this has been going on since the 70s. Jimmy Carter started the evesdropping. If it was such a big deal, why JUST NOW the problem with it?

Several orders of magnitude more important that the symbol of justice and right in the world, the light of the free world, illegally listens to social and professional groups without any court order before or after the fact. Please, if Clinton can be impeached for lying about a consensual affair then Shrub can obey the laws of this country. Remember, he is our most important one person in this country and probably the world , he should at least attempt to use the justice system as our framers intended.

This is in response to your answer of my question about what bush has done that is good for this country. You claimed "President Bush has not accomplished one thing that benefits this country because the LIBS & Dems won't let him." This seems odd because only recently did the government become balanced again. Republicans held the senate, congress, and presidency. Your claim that he has done nothing is proof that you, not all republicans, are an uneducated voter blindly following the republican stance even though you have no idea what it is.

The actions of hackers are illegal and thus can be punished through the law, but when an invasion of privacy is sanctioned by the state no one can be held accountable.

I have no problem if they do the same thing on Congress as well.
