Attorney General Alberto VO-5….

by Bill Simon

Someone explain this to me, please: How can one “testify” to any government body, or in any legal proceeding, and NOT swear an oath to tell the truth?

This is the case with Attorney General Alberto Gonzales in his appearance before the U.S. Senate panel investigating whether or not the President broke federal laws on wiretapping. He did not swear an oath…on a Bible or anything else. So, who cares what he says?

In his…“Q&A session” (which is what I’ll call it since it is not legally “testimony”) with the Senate, he stated that they only tapped international phone calls when they came from known Al-Quadia sources. Really?

If they are “known” to be Al-Quaida, do we have AWAC planes circling areas where these phone calls come from to see if we can pinpoint locations and wipe them out? Okay…well, maybe that’s classified info, but, if we’re not doing it, that’s a missed opportunity…

Today's Deep Thought

Sometimes, I think you have to march right in and demand your rights, even if you don't know what your rights are, or who the person is you're talking to. Then, on the way out, slam the door.
