I will wait with baited breath for proof.
You are right, Rodeo, as is FastPat. These powers can be abused and badly. It makes sense to let these powers die with the end of the Bush Administration. The problem with powers like this in the Democrats' hands is that the MSM is their propaganda arm, and so a true vetting of abuses cannot be expected...Just as we would not get an accurate read of a Democrat's abuses (albeit the motivation would differ), during a Democrat Presidency, we similarly must expect a warping of reality by the MSM during a Republican Presidency...This is what you see today. You see the MSM and their Democrat friends crying foul where they know there is no foul. They are doing this to regain power, no matter if it gives aid to America's enemies.
