Alberto - the Cha-Cha king...

Tuesday, February 07, 2006

Gonzales was sidestepping and dancing up a storm.

Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., asked if the authorization Bush claims to have would also enable the government to open mail — in addition to monitoring voice and electronic communications.
“There is all kinds of wild speculation out there about what the president has authorized and what we’re actually doing,” Gonzales said.
“You’re not answering my question,” Leahy retorted. “Does this law authorize the opening of first-class mail of U.S. citizens? Yes or no?”
“That’s not what’s going on,” Gonzales said. “We are only focusing on international communications, where one part of the conversation is al-Qaida.”
The strangest Yes or No I ever heard. But no problem - he is not under oath. "I'll tell you the truth - maybe."

You notice he has a smirk similar to W's and Uncle Dick's - talks out of the side of the mouth. Is that a prerequiste for working with W?
