Bush regime spied on credit card records

This story is from a couple weeks ago, but I had to put it on hold (which is what Bush forced many to do with their whole lives).

It turns out that - amidst revelations that Bush's illegal wiretap program spied on journalists and entire news agencies - this program also snooped at Americans' credit card records.

Bush's NSA collected all domestic communications, including phone and Internet. It combined phone data with credit card and bank records to build databases on American citizens. This program uses a highly questionable algorithm to paw through this data.

This despite the fact that regime officials claimed there was no surveillance of U.S. citizens.

I sure don't feel any safer, do you?

Get ready, folks. We're going to be hearing more outrageous stories about the spying scandal for years.
