George Bush actually said...

"We must also provide our military and intelligence professionals the tools they need to keep our country safe."

"The intelligence community must be able to tell me that the bill Congress sends to my desk will allow this vital program to continue."

"The principle behind this program is clear: When Al Qaida operatives are calling into or out of our country, we need to know who they are calling, why they are calling, and what they are planning."

"My Administration is committed to helping children and adults gain the reading skills they need to succeed in life."
