President Caligula -- he's a hypocrite too!!

Saddam, Bugging, and the U.N. - Let he who is without wiretaps cast the first stone. By Timothy Noah
Now Bush has a third reason, one that's breathtaking in its hypocrisy: Saddam's regime must be toppled because he bugged the United Nations. In his March 17 address to the nation, Bush said, "Over the years, U.N. weapon inspectors have been threatened by Iraqi officials, electronically bugged, and systematically deceived." Threatening U.N. weapons inspectors deserves condemnation, systematically deceiving U.N. weapons inspectors deserves condemnation, and, prior to March 2, Chatterbox would have agreed that electronically bugging U.N. weapons inspectors deserved condemnation, too. Actually, Chatterbox still thinks so. He just doesn't think President Bush is any position to condemn Iraq for wiretapping U.N. officials in light of the Observer's March 2 scoop that the Bushies wiretapped the home and office phones of U.N. Security Council representatives in New York.
