Assuming Bush wants to make America safe from terrorists is a flawed assumption

that's never been the intent and continuing to make that assumption has become a particularly dangerous form of denial... if bushco's aim was to make america safe from terrorism, we wouldn't be in the state we are now... however, when you frame the seemingly incompetent and irrational actions of the bush administration as a massive effort to instill fear, gain unfettered power, and exert absolute control over world resources, they become the essence of logic and reason...
George W. Bush’s warrantless phone data collection may not only violate the U.S. Constitution but expend so much money and manpower that America is made less safe – by diverting resources away from more practical steps, like inspecting cargo and hiring translators.
