White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan got in a heated row with a White House correspondent at Monday's press briefing over President Bush's warrantless domestic spying program, RAW STORY has learned.

The questioner, outspoken liberal columnist Helen Thomas, has been covering the White House since President John F. Kennedy, asks McClellan if Bush should obey the law.

The relevant part of transcript follows. RAW STORY has confirmed the questioner was Helen Thomas. Crooks and Liars has the video.

Q: Does the president think he should obey the law? He put his hand on the Bible twice to uphold the Constitution. Wiretapping is not legal under the circumstances without a warrant.

MR. MCCLELLAN: Well, I guess you didn't pay attention to the attorney general's hearing earlier today, because he walked through very clearly the rationale behind this program.

Q There is no rationale --

MR. MCCLELLAN: And Helen, I think you have to ask --

Q -- (inaudible) -- the law.

MR. MCCLELLAN: I think you have ask are we -- well, he's not -- are we a nation at war.

Q That's not the question.

MR. MCCLELLAN: No, that is the issue here.

Q The question is, the point is, there are means for him to go to -- get a warrant to spy on people.

MR. MCCLELLAN: Enemy surveillance is critical to waging and winning war. It's one of the traditional tools of war.

Q But he says he doesn't have running room --

MR. MCCLELLAN: The attorney general outlined very clearly today how previous administrations have used the same authority --

Q That doesn't make it legal.

MR. MCCLELLAN: -- and cited the same -- and cited the very same authority.

Q (Inaudible) -- they broke the law, that's too bad.

MR. MCCLELLAN: And we're going to continue doing everything we can --

Q You know what happened to Nixon when he broke the law.

MR. MCCLELLAN: -- within our power to protect the American people.

This is a very different circumstance, and you know that.

Q No, I don't.

Helen Thomas is a gem.

McClellan is the lowest of the low, an apologist for the scum of the earth.

Let's see how well the attorney general's hearing went...."The Art of Saying Nothing" [link to www.truthout.org]


Thank God for Helen Thomas!!!

Hmmm, we are rebuilding Iraq, aren't we? How can we be "at war" in a country we are "rebuilding and have brought "democracy"to"?

What a joke.

You dumbasses must REALLY love Iraq! Cutting foodstamps and heating assistance to the poor and old, while blowing $500BILLION to bring Iraq "freedom!".

Your types make me sick. If you're Americans and what we have become, I'm ready to give it up.

Old Earl, I'm sure your Avatar accurately depicts you in real life.

If you morons wake up, Helen Thomas is one of the only independent reporters in the White House Press Room, and coincidentally the only one who asks anything resembling a real, non scripted question.

So take your communist mentality back to the hills.

What do you call a man who takes an oath to protect and defend the constitution and then calls it "just a fucking piece of paper"?
