CLAIM vs. FACT: Bush on Internet Privacy

CLAIM:
"President Bush grumbled recently that he doesn't use e-mail because he worries the exchanges could become public. 'There has got to be a certain sense of privacy,' he told a conference of newspaper editors. 'I don't think you're entitled to be able to read my mail between my daughters and me.'...Bush's passion for privacy extends to his policies."
- USA Today, 5/12/05

FACT:
"President Bush signed legislation Friday that expands the ability to tap telephones and track Internet usage...The bill, known as the USA Patriot Act, gives federal authorities much wider latitude in monitoring Internet usage."
- CNET News, 10/26/01

FACT:
"Congresspeople on both sides of the aisle today strongly questioned the need to extend a controversial part of the federal Patriot Act that allows Internet service providers to give e-mail messages and personal data to federal law enforcement without a warrant or any notification to the person in question."
