Snow: Letter on Gonzales Testimony Coming Later

Here's a little more information on that mysterious letter from the administration expected by Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA).

After a classified briefing on the NSA's wiretapping program yesterday, Specter said that he expected a letter on the subject by noon today -- the letter, supposedly, would help explain the attorney general's questionable testimony on the program. Specter, however, indicated nothing as to what he expected the letter to say.

He only said that the letter, which will come from the Justice Department, is still forthcoming, probably in the next several hours.
