Bush Ordered N.S.A. to Spy on Americans
In 2002, President Bush issued an executive order that authorized the National Security Agency to eavesdrop on U.S. citizens. The New York Times reported that the N.S.A. has monitored the e-mail, telephone calls and other communications of thousands of people. The security agency was checking for people in the United States believed to have contact with suspected associates of al Qaed. These revelations come amid a fierce congressional debate over reauthorization of the USA Patriot Act.
