Bush Defends NSA Domestic Spying

HeadlineDec 20, 2005

On Monday President Bush held a news conference and defended the National Security Agency spying program but criticized sources inside the government for speaking with the press.

President Bush: “There’s a process that goes on inside the Justice Department about leaks and I presume that process is moving forward. My personal opinion is it was a shameful act, for someone to disclose this very important program in time of war. The fact that we’re discussing this program is helping the enemy.”
