And guess what happened? Saddam -- Osama bin Laden changed his behavior.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

Let me give you an example about my concerns about letting the enemy know what may or may not be happening. In the late 1990s, our government was following Osama bin Laden because he was using a certain type of telephone. And then the fact that we were following Osama bin Laden because he was using a certain type of telephone made it into the press as the result of a leak. And guess what happened? Saddam -- Osama bin Laden changed his behavior. He began to change how he communicated.

We're at war, and we must protect America's secrets. And so the Justice Department, I presume, will proceed forward with a full investigation. I haven't ordered one, because I understand there's kind of a natural progression that will take place when this kind of leak emerges.

The second part of the question is? Sorry -- I gave a long answer.

1. May the Justice Dept. proceed forward (as opposed to...proceed backward?)

with a full investigation on the legality of wiretapping without a necessary court order.

2. Osama stopped using

satelite phones becouse we blew his bases up too frequently, not becouse it was leaked. Everyone on the planet knew we could read phone intel.

3. Apparently Osama is doing okay with/without phones

regardless of how much spying jr. does on American citizens.
