One in the eye for all those who think George Bush is a compulsive liar:
The eavesdropping tables were turned on President Bush on Friday. The president apparently believed he was speaking privately when he talked about listening in without a warrant on domestic communications with suspected al-Qaida terrorists overseas. But reporters were the ones doing the listening in this time.
[...] However, the microphones stayed on for a few minutes. That allowed journalists back at the White House to eavesdrop on Bush’s defense of the eavesdropping. His private statements were basically no different from what he’s said in public.
But wait a minute – maybe Bush knew all along that his microphone was still on, and this was all part of a carefully conducted PR operation and we’re all being taken in by a devious sting operation…
