- Attorney General Alberto Gonzales conceded on Wednesday that he used confusing language .....

In his two-page letter to the committee chairman, Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., Gonzales sought to clear up the confusion.

"I am deeply concerned with suggestions that my testimony was misleading, and am determined to address any such impression," Gonzales wrote. A copy also went to Specter.

"I recognize that the use of the term 'Terrorist Surveillance Program' and my shorthand reference to the 'program' publicly 'described by the president' may have created confusion," Gonzales wrote.

Leahy was not swayed.

"The attorney general's legalistic explanation of his misleading testimony under oath before the Senate Judiciary Committee last week is not what one should expect from the top law enforcement officer of the United States," Leahy said in a statement after receiving Gonzales' letter. ....

[Disturbed]

2. Ask Gonzo who sent him to Asscroft.

Ask him 100 times in a row until he comes up with a name.

3. He'll say Laura did, "on behalf of the President." Laura will say NO, etc....

Gonzo will say, "It sure sounded like Laura." .... And on and on :rofl:

5. They should give him the lead role in the opera

4. Confusing on purpose

As Patrick Fitzgerald would say, it's like throwing sand in the eyes of the umpire. Create so much dust and confusion that no one knows what the fuck you were talking about.

I don't think Gonzo is nearly as stupid as people claim he is. Stupid like a fox.

8. You got that right. Distracting from illegal war he helped create while in the WH

6. Confusion = Bold Faced Lies.

I saw the way Abu sat there while being questioned. He's not sorry about a damn thing. This entire administration reminds me of that girl in 'The Bad Seed'.

7. how many chances are they going to give this incompetent fool

with us regular citizens we would be behind bars now. I mean WTF, impeach the guy, or will they wait until the whole DOJ is eliminated.

9. Gonzo sure knows how to dig his own grave deeper. Maybe giving him more time

to do that is a good idea! It sure gives the America People a front row seat on the current political actuality.

10. it is a complete and utter lack of respect of Democracy and Elected officials
