1. Thanks for that. It will be good to have an informed person to

get the scoop from.

4. he was so sane, and his opponent was so wacky

Geez Louise! Where do they get these latter day Watergate apologists?

We were in a REAL war during the Watergate burglary, not the imaginary Bush War on Terror.

9. his opponent was a Law Professor

Robert Turner--from the University of VA-- who was SCARY-- nothing but rightwing talking points (like... Bush went to Congress before he did the wiretapping...etc). And this illustrious professor was actually involved with legal decisions at the highest levels of government at one time.

I didn't realize UVA was such a bastion of Extremist Neanderthal Thought.

14. Yeah, there are plenty of wacky law professor, judges, too

As wacky, worthless law professors go, he's right up there at the top.

He ain't no Charles Alan Wright.

Listening In On The Wiretapping Hearings

6. Ecellent! Thank you much!

I love this quote from midway down the page:

This clip of George Bush should be talked about all week -- why, if the Administration had all the legal authority in the world to eavesdrop without warrants and outside of FISA did it repeatedly make false statements to the public and to the Congress assuring us all that it was eavesdropping only in accordance with FISA? Parties make false statements in order to conceal their behavior only when their behavior is improper and wrong, not when it is justified and legal. And deliberately false statements of that sort from our government officials happen to be unacceptable and wrong, and really constitute a scandal unto itself.

7. That is a great quote, isn't it?

Greenwald is really terrific. He has a way of unambiguously framing the issues involved in the NSA spying debacle. I look forward to his take on the hearings.

10. He did a great job

He's the blogger who uncovered the DeWine story: http://www.democrats.org/a/2006/01/tracking_the_gl.php

11. i've tried

i can't read his blog... the text is too small and the color purple on green is impossible for me to see clearly (i'm a little colorblind)...

12. Cut and paste it into word pad. Or maybe just highlighting it will help

since that will change the color, and then you can increase the font size.

13. Love this part LOL

Of course Gonzales begins his Opening Statement by quoting Osama bin Laden and Zawahri. We used to quote Madison, Jefferson and Lincoln to decide what the principles of our Government are going to be. Now we quote Al Qaeda. The Administration wants Al Qaeda and its speeches to dictate the type of Government we have. It is the centerpiece of everything they do and say.

16. That quote is priceless

I love this guy.
