WASHINGTON (Jan. 24) - Attorney General Alberto Gonzales offered additional defenses of President Bush's domestic spying program on Tuesday, as the administration tried to redefine the warrantless surveillance in a way that undermines critics.

Speaking to students at Georgetown University law school, Gonzales said a 15-day grace period allowing warrantless eavesdropping under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act demonstrates that Congress knew such surveillance "would be essential in wartime."

1. Congress knew such surveillance "would be essential in wartime."
Yes...that's why they have a law that says 15 days' grace time...then GET A WARRANT.

3. You can tell it's freeped by the fact
that they've answered that they trust Bush and don't trust the media. It's only freepers who don't understand that the media is pretty much in league with Bush.

8. Bush never tells the truth, either by design or through programming.
Bush is a professional liar, a skill he developed from years of dragging in at 4 AM smelling of booze and other things.

12. I never utter "trust" and "boosh*" in the same sentence
Monkeyboy's the "jumbo shrimp" of American politics: a walking oxymoran.
