following is random text to evade junk filterTo catch up a bit on where we're at in the hearings, we've heard Gonzales say, essentially "We're not spying on al Qaeda, we're spying on Americans." Interestingly, he says that the outcry against such surveillance would be worse that what is going on now. Huh?
I think Gonzales has it backwards. Democrats have criticized Bush for NOT going after Al Qaida. At Tora Bora. By diverting for the Iraq Debacle. For not finishing the job in Afghanistan. For not protecting the "homeland."
For getting an F from the 9/11 Commission.
The Bush Administration is failing us in the fight against Al Qaida AND demolishing the Constitution at the same time.
As for Gonzales' justifications thus far, as SusanG says, "I'm detecting NOT a slippery slope, but a backfill operation."
