Agitation #3

Abraham Lincoln once asked, "How many legs does a dog have if you call the tail a leg?"
The answer: "Four; calling a tail a leg doesn't make it a leg."
For some reason that came to mind today as President Bush assured the nation that the National Security Agency does not spy on Americans. This on the same day that USA Today writes about a massive database of Americans' phone calls. Hm ... how many legs does that dog have?
You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free. Or is it, rather, the truth is out there?
