to ciaran: I don't think you can do that in France at all, though Sarkozy would love it for sure.

Bush thinks sub-human foreigners basically have no right and are fair game. With the same mentality, I am sure he would also recognise that North Korea, Russia or Germany has every right to freely wiretap, and spy US citizens without warrants or other such niceties. And of course also kidnap them for "rendition" at a whim... A wonderful world awaits us...
