McCain Says It's Unclear Whether Bush Wiretapping Was Legal
Last updated: August 7, 2008 - 11:31am
Yes. No. Maybe. Sen John McCain (R-AZ) seems to have covered all the possible answers about whether he believes President Bush acted within his rights in ordering wiretapping without warrants. "It's ambiguous as to whether the president acted within his authority of not," he said, saying courts had ruled different ways on the matter. "I'm not interested in going back. I'm interested in addressing the challenge we face to day of trying to do everything we can to counter organizations and individuals that want to destroy this country. So there's ambiguity about it. Let's move forward." His campaign has sent seemingly conflicting signals on the issue in recent days.
