College student shouts ‘You lie!’ to Alberto Gonzales during speech.

Alberto Gonzales Former Bush attorney general Alberto Gonzales recently spoke at the University of Tennessee at Martin about “Living Legal History: Working with the White House, the Department of Justice and the Supreme Court.” Gonzales received a “mixed” response from students and residents, and he had a Joe-Wilson moment when a student interrupted his speech and shouted out “You lie!”:

***** At one point, Gonzales referred to America’s war on terrorism.

“President Wilson and Roosevelt engaged in massive collections of electronic communications during the first and second world war,” Gonzales said. “The collection performed by President Bush was much more narrow.”

At this moment, a student in the crowd interjected with: “You lie!” After some quiet applause the speech continued.

1. Good !! And I hope the student refuses to apologize.

Goose/Gander, and all that.

2. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978

I seem to remember that the First and Second World Wars were before 1978. Wilson and Roosevelt were not in violation of the law, Bush was and is.

4. Unbelievable

An institution of higher learning actually invited disgraced Alberto Gonzales to speak??? Geez, degrees from that school plus $1.50 might get its students a cup of coffee.

9. Nice. n/t

10. Yeah, "massive" amounts of electronic communications....

...telephone and telegraph, listened to by actual people, and no computer-driven recordings, analysis, or corrolation.

Not to mention that ALL records were on paper, and could NOT be listened to by an actual person.

Now the NSA has literally acres of supercomputers able to record and analyse ALL electronic communications... voice, fax, text, IM, email and anything sent via email, and Internet web traffic.


Bit of a difference there.
