MoveOn.org has just released a new ad calling for a special prosecutor to investigate the NSA surveillance program aimed at the international communications of people with known al Qaeda connections. The ad is filled with video of Richard Nixon morphing into George W. Bush and back again, and here is the script, as released by MoveOn:

VIDEO
OPEN ON A CLASSIC BLACK AND WHITE PHOTO OF RICHARD NIXON.
AUDIO
ANNOUNCER (VO): Claiming national security, Richard Nixon illegally wiretapped
innocent Americans.
VIDEO
OVER THE NIXON PHOTO WE LAYER OR CORNER ARCHIVAL FOOTAGE OF
NIXON.
AUDIO
NIXON: When the President does it, that means that it is not illegal.
VIDEO
BACK TO THE PICTURE OF NIXON, BUT AS THE ANNOUNCER CONTINUES,
NIXON’S FACE BEGINS TO CHANGE, ALMOST IMPERCEPTABLY AT FIRST.
AUDIO
ANNOUNCER (VO): We put a law in place to protect innocent Americans, allowing
the president to wiretap for national security – but requiring court approval within days.
George Bush is breaking that law.
VIDEO
AS THE ANNOUNCER SPOKE, PICTURE OF NIXON SLOWLY MORPHED INTO
A COMPARABLE PICTURE OF BUSH. OVER THE NEXT LINE, THE PICTURE
OF BUSH QUICKLY MORPHS BACK INTO THE PICTURE OF NIXON, THEN
THE PICTURE OF BUSH. SUPER: “BUSH BROKE THE LAW”.
AUDIO
ANNOUNCER (VO): Are you having trouble telling these men apart? We had a
special prosecutor then. We need a special prosecutor now.
