'Talkin' Texan' Means Lyin' Big

George W. Bush told an audience at the Grand Ole Opry that he would explain his warrantless wiretap program in "Texan," presumably straight-shootin' talk. He then proceeded to give a fictional account of how his special spying program only targets Americans who are calling al-Qaeda operatives. The reality is much different, with vast amounts of data from Americans being mined for leads that almost invariably turn out to be worthless.

For the full story of how Bush's "talkin' Texan" is reminiscent of Wild West tall tales about Pecos Bill, go to Consortiumnews.com.
