NSA Phone Tapping Program

So much has been written about this issue, but I'd like to ad my two-cents.
I have nothing to hide and essentially don't mind my calls being tracked.

If you wanna know that I didn't call my mother on Mother's Day, fine with me (I did take her out to breakfast).

The spin is that gathering phone traffic information helps fight terrorism. Ok, fine.

But here's my suspicious speculation: Karl Rove and other in the Admin are using phone call information in many other, er, creative, ways, i.e., to influence elections, gather dirt, and monitor enemies.

This diary from DailyKos confirms my suspicious.

Monitoring the call traffic of news organizations looking for leakers. Its only a small step to monitoring the Democratic National Party for calls to say, Ohio. Beats breaking into hotel rooms.
Lets Not Win the House or Senate and Watch the Fun]

Bilmon has a post about maybe not wanting to win the House in Nov. The main reason is that things are such a mess, that if the dems win, they could easily get blamed, and that the GOP machine is built to ATTACK!!! and that if the dems are large in the House, the machine will rev up again.
