Agreed, if not for Aldrich Aimes, we might not even be having this conversation.
I'm not necessarily against this, but it must be tightly controlled. I think what many are afraid of (myself included) is Bush's seemingly cavalier attitude toward the whole thing. I watched the press conference and he seemed to say "I know I did it, I'm going to keep doing it and I dare anyone to stop me" (all IMO of course) This is cloak and dagger stuff that should've stayed under the cloak. Aimes crippled our intelligence operations and it will take decades to rebuild it and stuff it back under the rug. All at a time that we need a functioning, on the ground, reliable intelligence network and we don't have it. sas Scott A.

What Bush is doing is also for National Security. I'm not saying Clinton was wrong, just that he went a lot further than Bush did and very few complained.
