The alleged monitoring is part of more rigorous surveillance practices put in motion after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.[/quote:30afea061b]

You know, I wish people like this guy would just shut up. September 11 is over, and yes, it was a sad time, but many people are over it. Don't hide information from the public! It's supposed to be a government for the people, by the people. Make it that way.

Sadly, I have to say I'm with Bush on this one...grr, that sounds so gross to say. The Al-Haramain Foundation was a charity for Al-Qaeda, and they should be watched if what they are doing is evil. If the Al-Haramain Foundation is doing nothing wrong, it won't have a problem.

But hey - if the case gets Bush impeached, so be it!
