Regardless of how you feel about the domestic spy program, you have to admit - Gonzalez's desire/need to testify before Congress is exactly why the Attorney General should not be the same guy that wrote the torture memo. I do not trust that he has an objective/independent opinion, and I do not trust that he would enforce the law if the Court were to deem this an unconstitutional exercise of power.
In other news, I have decided to add a "regular" section here - just a statement of what is spinning on the iPod today. The specificity will vary - sometimes artis/record/song etc, but sometimes just artist, and sometimes I will probably forget. We'll see how this goes.

WASHINGTON -- Attorney General Alberto Gonzales insisted Monday that President Bush is fully empowered to eavesdrop on Americans without warrants as part of the war on terror. He exhorted Congress not to end or tinker with the program.
Gonzales' strong defense of Bush's program was challenged by Republican Sen. Arlen Specter, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, and committee Democrats during sometimes contentious questioning.
