21. No this was Ridge's comfy wrap up to the interview
O'Brien actually did much better than I expected. He never backed down throwing common sense and the actual political environment in DC (stated that Congress would and has given W everything he ever asked for*) and made Ridge look pretty foolish to be quite honest. Ridge isn't even in the administration anymore why is he whoring for them?

Ridge basically wanted everyone to leave with the warm fuzzy feeling of the Bill of Rights that the founders meant us to have.

Johnathan Turley of GWU Law followed and ripped the whole lie apart.

* I say "Everything" but there is one notable thing that wasn't awarded to W&Co. and that was the "Total Information Awareness" program. The TIA was going to monitor every call, every email, every bank transaction, everything all under the watchful eye of convicted felon John Poindexter and a logo so creepy that I went out and bought a hat from cafepress. Well does what TIA was supposed to do sound familiar? It should they went ahead with it anyway and O'Brien pointed out much of what is an issue now MAY have been started before 9/11. Oh by they way they also tried to slide Social Securtity back into the budget hoping no one would notice. They play in the margin that you jump over to get to reasonable consideration.
