When are the Democrats going to heed Al Gore's call
and DEMAND a Special Counsel to investigate NSA, wiretaps, etc.? Will this happen after the Judicial Committee investigation? Will it happen at all? It is ludicrous to believe that major player insider participant Gonzales would be any abler to run an investigation than John Mitchell would have been capable of during Watergate.

1. I thought that congress was attempting to investigate and was
being blocked at every effort they made. Does anyone know if my information is correct?

2. Well obviously
They don't control the House so of course. I'm not holding my breath with the Specter hearings.

6. Here's a psychic transcript:
Specter: Mr.Gonzales sir, is the NSA wiretapping requested and authorized by the President illegal?

AG: No, as the Unitary Executive nothing the President does is illegal ever.

Specter: Well, all right then. Hearing is over. Everyone is dismissed. Sorry for wasting all this time on the matter.

5. Don't you get the NSA hot stock tips newsletter?
I understand that getting on the distribution list of this one requires a certain kind of 'clearance' :-)
