The Unintended Consequences of Breaking the Law

Yow! Talk about unintended consequences!

Did President Bush anticipate this on that Saturday morning when he strutted up to the podium and defiantly announced that he ordered our government to spy on its own citizens and said that he didn't care if it was against law and would keep doing it?

Or maybe he hoped that a couple of weeks of terror talk would convince even defense attorneys that we need to trust Bush in his War on Terror.

No such luck. Lawyers for defendants in terrorism cases all across the nation are preparing legal challenges to illegal wiretaps ordered by George W. Bush.
