Included was an idea Bush had resisted for months: the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, the first new Cabinet-level department in more than a decade.

However, federal law still clearly states that intelligence agents must have a court order to conduct electronic surveillance of Americans on these shores.

But until we rout out every terrorist cell and every terrorist, until attitudes change about freedom in America, we've got to protect our homeland in a new way.

The Bush administration consistently tells the public that surveillance is conducted only on terrorists and Americans communicating with terrorists; yet information obtained by credible media sources indicates that it is also spying on groups that support civil rights, animal rights and the environment. To suggest those groups are terrorists is an act of modern day McCarthyism.

en [First, the opening quote of President Bush is taken out of context. He is not denying his responsibility to explain the policies of his administration. Bob Woodward was quoting from his book,] Bush at War. ... Of course not. I am the commander, see?
