Documents Contradict Gonzales' Testimony

Documents show that eight congressional leaders were briefed about the Bush administration's terrorist surveillance program on the eve of its expiration in 2004, contradicting sworn Senate testimony this week by Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.

The documents, obtained by The Associated Press, come as senators consider whether a perjury investigation should be opened into conflicting accounts about the program and a dramatic March 2004 confrontation leading up to its potentially illegal reauthorization.

A Gonzales spokesman maintained Wednesday that the attorney general stands by his testimony.

At a heated Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Tuesday, Gonzales repeatedly testified that the issue at hand was not about the terrorist surveillance program, which allowed the National Security Agency to eavesdrop on suspects in the United States without receiving court approval.

Keith talking about it now

If Gonzo speaks he lies.

I mean, he came across as so very honest. Maybe the documents are just confused.

:D

good to read things like this OP. It just feels good.

so tell me, how me "contradictions" does there have to be before we can call it a LIE? :grr:

add up. He said he was trying extra hard to tell the truth.

Shuster laid it out beautifully. Patrick Leahy next. Great KO tonight.

This thread should have more nominations. It is a positive statement, that we should all be upbeat about.

There will be more recommends after people return to their seats with a cola.

the documents and Gonzo's testimony is on the screen. Nominated thread

isn't it?

He has Bruce Finne on now talking about impeachment.

IT'S NICE!!!

Impeach Bush for violating the constitution. This is huge.

with Moyers and John Nichols. That was brilliant.

Another Nichols interview:

If you've never heard Ian Masters' shows I highly recommend him. He's very informed and gets excellent guests and interviews.

http://www.ianmasters.org is the main page with the show Background Briefing and the link above is his other show that runs right afterwards, Live from the Left Coast.

You can hear them live Sundays at 11am PT at www.kpfk.org, a Pacifica station. And you can hear the latest shows there too, they get them up faster than on Ian's site, and you can check out all their other shows too. Ian's site is a bit easier to navigate though.

I have to catch up as I was out of town and missed the last two.

I'll give him a listen

Poor fella!

from yesterday put me in a good mood. Although I certainly wish things would go at a faster pace, I think that the AG did some very real harm to not only himself, but to the Cheney administration. A couple of years ago, I had noted this group had re-introduced the Huston Plan for domestic spying. I believe that it began to be shown yesterday that this is accurate.

I think Gonzo could mount a credible defense of mental incompetency.



Edit: cuz incompetency is not the same as incontinency. (Calling Sen. Vitter)

One of the more pleasant threads around here recently.:D

Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, which took effect July 26, 1992, prohibits private employers, state and local governments, employment agencies and labor unions from discriminating against qualified individuals with disabilities in job application procedures, hiring, firing, advancement, compensation, job training, and other terms, conditions and privileges of employment. An individual with a disability is a person who:

Has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities;
Has a record of such an impairment; or
Is regarded as having such an impairment.
A qualified employee or applicant with a disability is an individual who, with or without reasonable accommodation, can perform the essential functions of the job in question. Reasonable accommodation may include, but is not limited to:

Making existing facilities used by employees readily accessible to and usable by persons with disabilities.
Job restructuring, modifying work schedules, reassignment to a vacant position;
Acquiring or modifying equipment or devices, adjusting modifying examinations, training materials, or policies, and providing qualified readers or interpreters.

:thumbsup: :rofl:

:rofl:

Gonzo is gonno'!!!

:rofl:

I don't mind watching them plucked off like chickens, myself. :bounce:

Leahy said that impeachment would not be finished until after the election.

hide in the woodwork and regroup. There must be punishment.

under oath.

He did. He's caught. Things are going to get interesting.

Gonzo committed perjury. Don't you wonder why Card resigned. He must have known that hospital visit would be exposed. I can't wait for a movie on these criminals.

Which ended in either arrows or swords.


I think, however, it will be more like the ending of the Soprano series.

Hearings, more exposure, followed by terra, terra, terra then back to hearings, Subpoenas, contempt, more terra terra. The rats are cornered and I'm lovin it :D
