umm, you sure he wasn't talking about the intelligence reform bill, which he just signed into law? While some say that this bill incorporated a few features from PA2, it is not PA2...
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush on Friday signed into law the largest overhaul of U.S. intelligence gathering in 50 years, hoping to improve the spy network that failed to prevent the September 11, 2001, attacks.
"Our vast intelligence enterprise will become more unified, coordinated and effective," Bush said. "It will enable us to better do our duty, which is to protect the American people."
The 563-page bill, which endured a tortured path to congressional passage, also aims to tighten borders and aviation security.

I was watching CNN thinking this is going to be a great day
when all of the sudden the President is on Television talking
about the 9/11 commision bill, I thought this was going to be
more Presidential Rhetoric but I was wrong. The president
stated that in a few minutes he would be signing the bill
into effect, well it is official now and we have in the presidents
words the most sweeping changes in the American Security
Policy since President Truman was in office.

well if we are all agreeing that the author of this thread has misrepresented PA2, shouldn't he change the title? (Please).

Because of an intelligence reform bill?
They knew there was no way they would get away with passing P2, so they broke it up into smaller peices and are now tacking it on to bills that have a chance of passing.
Something Nixon would've gave his left, you know what for!

Try the Nixon: Huston Plan

FROST: So what in a sense, you're saying is that there are certain situations, and the Huston Plan or that part of it was one of them, where the president can decide that it's in the best interests of the nation or something, and do something illegal.
NIXON: Well, when the president does it that means that it is not illegal.
