Caught in a Lie Again

In his radio address last Saturday, Bush said two of the hijackers who helped fly a jet into the Pentagon had communicated with suspected Al Qaeda members overseas while they were living in the U.S.

"But we didn't know they were here until it was too late.....The authorization I gave the National Security Agency after Sept. 11 helped address that problem in a way that is fully consistent with my constitutional responsibilities and authorities."

But some current and former high-ranking U.S. counter-terrorism officials say that the details of the case undermine the president's rationale for domestic spying program. A 2002 inquiry into the case by the House and Senate intelligence committees blamed interagency communication breakdowns — not shortcomings of FISA or any other intelligence-gathering guidelines.

The only way to “hear truth” from Bush is to believe the exact opposite.
