"It is happening now, at a time when there is a perception that everything is at stake. This is not Vietnam, this is not some routine national war effort, this is one where some how the very survival of the country is perceived to be up for grabs. So, this is a tradition that the Bill of Rights works when it works, but in crisis we do bend it and that always creates constitutional problems."

- Clay Jenkinson, Presidential Historian & Jefferson Scholar, discussing the NSA wire taps scandal facing the Bush Administration.
