Bush uses an "Urban Myth" in his news conference.

Vice President Cheney (in the same vein) trying to prove that the Patriot act and the NSA listening to US citizen's phone-calls have protected us said, "Why do you think that they haven't hit us for 4 years"? He forgets that without either the Patriot Act, nor NSA spying, we were not hit for...
