"As the US Attorney scandal rages, another Alberto Gonzales scandal has flared up - this time concerning his pressuring then A.G. John Ashcroft to sign domestic spying orders when   more...Ashcroft

James B. Comey, former Deputy Attorney General of the United States, testifies on May 15th about an incident on the evening of March 10, 2004 (from Wikipedia):

Comey, who was Acting Attorney General during the March 2004 surgical hospitalization of John Ashcroft, refused to "certify" central aspects of the NSA program at that time. The certification was required under existing White House procedures to continue the program. After Comey's refusal, the newspaper reported, Andrew H. Card Jr., White House Chief of Staff, and Alberto R. Gonzales, then White House counsel and now Attorney General, made an emergency visit to the George Washington University Hospital, to attempt to win approval directly from Ashcroft for the program."  less

King's July 31 interview of Vice President Cheney dealt mostly with a number of political topics. A sample of the questions from the interview:

How do you deal with it when public opinion polls are stridently   more...against the [Iraq] policy?

But in all cases, they did question themselves. In all cases, they said, well, let's look at it this way. Don't you? I mean the question is, don't you ever say, maybe I'm wrong?

In retrospect, you would still go into Iraq?

Does it pain you when Brent Scowcroft says this is not the Dick Cheney I knew?

Wouldn't you like to be liked?

OK, let's go back. On this program, May of 2005, you said the Iraqi insurgency was in the last throes. Why were you wrong?

In that same interview, you said that the Iraqis were well on their way to being able to defend themselves. Why not? Why are they gone?

To which branch of government do you belong? Are you executive or legislative, or both? We were a little confused over recent statements that you're not in either.

We have an op-ed piece by Walter Mondale, a former vice president, who held your job. And at that time, I guess, up to that time, he would be considered the most powerful vice president. He wrote that: "After 9/11, Cheney set out to create a largely independent power center in the Office of the Vice President. It was an unprecedented attempt not only to shape administration policy, but, alarmingly, to limit the policy options sent to the president."He also accused you of having "a near total aversion to the notion of accountability." How would you respond to that?

Don't you think this administration has also had its credibility problems?

Alberto Gonzales. Do you stand by him?

You're going to stand by him? No doubt about that?

In that regard, "The New York Times," which is -- as you said, it's not your favorite paper, reports it was you who dispatched Gonzales and Andy Card to then Attorney General John Ashcroft's hospital in 2004 to push Ashcroft to certify the president's intelligence gathering program. Was it you?

The "Scooter" Libby trial, did it pain you?

The Senate Judiciary Committee is subpoenaing Karl Rove in connection with the firing of federal prosecutors. Why shouldn't he appear?

But the public might say, what have you got to hide?

So he -- so he [Rove] will not appear?

General Powell says he would close Guantanamo yesterday. Would you?

You have to torture them when they're there?

How come in the past though there's been a question on that?

Have you ever said, "We support certain methods of physical harm"?

What is "enhanced" [referring to Cheney's line 'We support the ability of certain agencies of the federal government to have the capacity to use enhanced techniques for interrogation']?

THE VICE PRESIDENT: I don't recall -- first of all, I haven't seen the story. And I don't recall that I gave instructions to that effect.

Q That would be something you would recall.

THE VICE PRESIDENT: I would think so. But certainly I was involved because I was a big advocate of the Terrorist Surveillance Program, and had been responsible and working with General Hayden and George Tenet to get it to the President for approval. By the time this occurred, it had already been approved about 12 times by the Department of Justice. There was nothing new about it.

Q So you didn't send them to get permission.

THE VICE PRESIDENT: I don't recall that I was the one who sent them to the hospital.  less

Outfoxed examines how media empires, led by Rupert Murdoch's Fox
News, have been running a "race to the bottom" in television news. This
film provides an in-depth look at Fox News and the dangers of ever
enlarging corporations taking control of the public's right to know.

Jon Stewart... an amazingly smart man, whom I respect greatly.
He’s truthful; he’s caring, and smart... a true American... that should be
the President. Jon Stewart is truly an accomplished man; a mere cable
show comedian is 100x more intelligent than the president of his
country;

Alberto Gonzales: Yet another example of how extremely far to the
fringe right truly is!! Here we see him try to claim that the Constitution
doesn't grant people the right of Habeas Corpus.
Powerful information exposing U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales
Please Google this (Alberto Gonzales pedophile) you will find
suppressed information about the charges against this bastard it’s
shocking and disgusting. If a citizen pulled that in court, the judge would
charge them with obstruction. They should've arrested him on the spot!

Sarah Taylor makes a Freudian slip which should help to explain much
of the dynamics of the Bush Administration.

Sadly the mismatched young lady is willfully lying about her knowledge
of Tim Griffin's and the RNC caging scheme...which will ultimately lead
to the imprisoning of Karl Rove. Karl Rove and the RNC needed Federal
Prosecutors to investigate and prosecute voter fraud so as to validate
the nation wide caging scheme. Those prosecutors in certain states
who were not able to find grounds for voter fraud were fired by the
Department of Justice on behalf of Rove and the RNC.
But does anybody notice or care? NO! And what about Greg Palast
obtaining Rove's emails that expose them planning on throwing the 2008
election, no on noticed that either! Google: "Greg Palast has Rove
emails"

Tough questions for a Lying Criminal.

Interesting to note that the lying criminal resigned.

Question is, will the lying criminal who appointed him appoint another
lying criminal.

David Howell Petraeus is another water boy for the lying criminal
president.
He is a general in the United States Army and commander of Multi
National Force—Iraq (MNF-I), the four-star post that oversees all U.S.
forces in the country. He ought to be charged, tried and hung for High
Treason.

Every objective observer knows what Petraeus was going to say. Fact
is - Iraq if FUBAR! There is no military solution for a political disaster.

I’ll tell you what is Treasonous:

1. Selling a war to the American public based on false premises
2. The destruction of Habeas Corpus
3. Extraordinary renditions and Torture that raise the probability of our
Troops being subjected to Torture if Captured
4. Putting party and partisanship above country time after time again
5. Stifling dissent and labeling those who dissent as being unpatriotic
6. Putting special and corporate interest ahead of public interest and the
dereliction of duty.

Our Generals are finally telling the  less
