The whole debate about what constitues domestic spying came to an absurd head at yesterday's White House Media Conference.


Rummy's puppet, Scott McClelland - he who knows no shame - announced that the Georgie and the boys were not guilty of domestic spying, but were only spying on international calls. He then went on to point out that there are diffeerences between international calls and domestic calls in the same way as there are differences between international mail & domestic mail, international flights and domestic flights, interrnational cats and domestic cats, etc.


However, he did not, or rather could not comment on one reporter's observation that when US intelligence is 'monitoring' an internaitonal call, surely one of the partiesis a 'domestic caller'.


Makes sense to me, but obviously just another issue to be tidied under the mat before the nezt election.
