Gonzales Hearings - Mark My Words: This is what is going to happen...
Gonzales is going to keep on saying that we are only spying on al Queda. He will not deviate. He will continue to say this is a program that is only being used for that purpose. No Democrat is going to touch him and over the next few days the right wing spin machine will sell this bullshit to the American people and soon polls will be conducted and they will show that Americans believe Bush is right. It might not be by a large margin, but it will be just large enough. Just watch....

5. What do Quakers and gay groups have to do with al-Qaida?
Edited on Mon Feb-06-06 03:13 PM by TechBear_Seattle
Hasn't it been demonstrated that, among the groups being surveilled were peace organizations, Quaker activists and groups protesting DADT? Why are the lies about "We only spyed on al-Qaida" not being challenged by the so-called "liberal media"?

8. Here's what I heard so far....
I heard Gonzales talk about and confirm that the Admin was concerned about Americans reaction to this program, so to make up for that, the criminals decided that calls made between al-Qaeda & al-Qaeda (whether both calls were made inside our country or if one of the callers was calling from outside the country to the other member) would BE OFF LIMITS. That is what I heard!!!! A few of Senators were very disturbed by that and should be!

The attitude I am feeling from Gonzales today is this: OSAMA GOOD, CINDY SHEEHAN BAD.

9. It doesn't even matter
any more what the American people think-double speak news just pumps out BS, the average person feels powerless to do anything and unless you're in the top 10% you're too busy trying to survive to take a stand or (very soon) too afraid.

11. dKos: "Important development In Gonzales hearing"
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x337904

It is all contained in the key words that Gonzales has been careful to continously repeat "the programme that we are discussing today"

<clip>

Please, please telephone the offices of the Democratic Senators and ask them to demand what other programmes exist and why these are not also being addressed at these hearings.
