Gonzales will turn over secret wiretapping documents
-- Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said Wednesday he will turn over secret documents detailing the government's domestic spying program, ending a two-week standoff with the Senate Judiciary Committee over surveillance targeting terror suspects.

"It's never been the case where we said we would never provide access," Gonzales told reporters.

"We obviously would be concerned about the public disclosure that may jeopardize the national security of our country," he said. "But we're working with the Congress to provide the information that it needs."

The documents held by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court -- including investigators' applications for permission to spy and judges' orders -- will be given to some lawmakers as early as Wednesday.

Gonzales said the documents would not be released publicly. "We're talking about highly classified documents about highly classified activities of the United States government," the attorney general said.

1. More Bullshit and Stall Tactics I'm Sure
I'll believe it when I see it. He might as well have said "Sure baby, I won't cum in your mouth".

2. Which all means...
I really hope that what is in the reports gets leaked to hell and back. Because what is in those reports scares them far more than it scares any terrorists.
