Or rather, like a gangrenous thumb that had been removed by a rusty nail file, cleansed by New York harbor water...
The FBI has reported that the VAST MAJORITY of wiretapping efforts have been fruitless and pointless.
"But virtually all of them (wire-tapping efforts), current and former officials say, led to dead ends or innocent Americans." http://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/17/politics/17spy.html
And now Gonzalez is claiming that we "did not eavesdrop on innocent Americans"???
So every single wire-tap has involved a guilty American???
@%#@#$
And of course, Gonzalez was not sworn in for his testimony...
We swore in baseball players for testimony to Congress, but for a president wire-tapping U.S. citizens, THAT doesn't need swearing in...
You know, after the 2000 and 2004 election I would get frustrated with the people who claimed Bush "is not my president".
Now I can't help but think (on some levels) they may have been the sanest people in the country... |
