What a bunch of weasels we have in the Congress. Here Bush and his buddies are usurping the very rights and freedoms which make America the country it is and these bastages are thinking along partisan lines, defending Gonsalves and Bush for the Rebubs and worrying about re-election for the Demoncrats.

Where is the outrage at this obvious abuse of power? Where is the looking out for the freedoms of the individual? Where is the concern for the rule of law?

Apox on all their houses!

Dictators learn too.... if the people are not affected..the people do not care. Only the sheep that stray from the flock are affected by these new laws.

I agree law should be respected. However within the law, why should we give a fig for the freedoms of Al Qaeda associates?

I saw a glimpse of the exchange on this on Headline News with the delicious Sophia Choi anchoring the story.

Feingold flat out told Gonzales that he believed that he lied to Congress to save any chance he had of being confirmed. That he put his confirmation ahead of the truth.

I can't find video....but below is a WaPo article about Feingold letting Gonzales know to expect to hear about it.
Gonzalez was asked this question by Feingold and answered it. You might consider listening to two sides of a conversation, in this case an accusation and answer. There are benefits of doing this, especially to the members of this forum, who will lap up like dogs anything they like the smell of.

I did see both sides. Feingold "accused" Gonzales, directly I might add...no mincing words, of lying. Gonzales' response was that Feingold had asked a hypothetical question during the confirmation hearings. Feingold's question could have been hypothetical b/c he added the words "illegally breaking the law". Gonzales, Bush, et al have contended they were within the law and that is why he feels that he was telling the truth instead of answering the question directly.

That is both sides. Gonzales turned his truthiness into fact instead of stating in front of Congress that they were doing the very thing Feingold asked, but they believed it to be legal to hide it as long as they could.
