FBI Director Robert Mueller on Thursday contradicted the sworn testimony of his boss, Atty. Gen. Alberto Gonzales, by telling Congress that a prominent warrantless surveillance program was the subject of a dramatic legal debate within the Bush administration.Mueller's testimony appears to mark the first public confirmation from a Bush administration official that the National Security Agency's Terrorist Surveillance Program was at issue in an unusual nighttime visit by Gonzales to the hospital bedside of then-Atty. Gen. John Ashcroft when he was under sedation and recovering from surgery.
Mueller's remarks to the House Judiciary Committee about that contentious meeting differed from testimony earlier in the week from Gonzales, who told a Senate panel that a legal disagreement aired at the hospital did not concern the NSA program. Details of the program, kept secret for four years, were confirmed by President Bush in December 2005, provoking wide controversy on Capitol Hill.
Yeah, at this point, I'm thinking Gonzales is being sacrificed on the altar of the Impeachment Gods. I can hear the quiet chants of Cheney and Bush as they pray:
"OH, BEAUTIFUL IMPEACHMENT GODS! PLEASE ACCEPT THIS SACRIFICE OF ONE OF OUR INCOMPETENT MINIONS IN EXCHANGE FOR YOUR MERCY! HE IS RIPE FOR IMPEACHMENT! PLEASE, WITH YOUR INFINITE WISDOM, ACCEPT THIS MAN INTO YOUR BOSOM AND SPARE ME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ETERNAL GUIDANCE AND YES, WE KNOW WE STILL REALLY OWE YOU FOR CLINTON."
I'll be blogging a bit more about the "I-Word" later today and, well, on and on until it actually happens. :) .
