A letter?

Wow, I guess that they’ve really taken off the gloves now.

yeah, an honest-to-god letter... they're really bringing out the BIG GUNS...!

Russ Feingold (D-WI), Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Ted Kennedy (D-MA), and Richard Durbin (D-IL) sent Attorney General Alberto Gonzales a letter regarding former Deputy Attorney General James Comey’s testimony yesterday before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

You testified last year before both the Senate Judiciary Committee and the House Judiciary Committee about this incident. On February 6, 2006, at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, you were asked whether Mr. Comey and others at the Justice Department had raised concerns about the NSA wiretapping program. You stated in response that the disagreement that occurred was not related to the wiretapping program confirmed by the President in December 2005, which was the topic of the hearing. …

We ask for your prompt response to the following question: In light of Mr. Comey’s testimony yesterday, do you stand by your 2006 Senate and House testimony, or do you wish to revise it?

there MUST be stronger moves taken to restore accountability... i appreciate the fact that congress must move slowly and deliberately, but time is of the essence... day by day, the foundations of our republic are being chipped away to the point where our country is becoming unrecognizable... congress needs to MOVE... we cannot afford to wait...
