So, we have more spying programs after all... We are SO-O-O-O-OO surprised...!

there's no news whatsoever in this story... not only do we have more spying programs being conducted by our government than they have previously admitted to, but alberto gonzales has been lying about their existence... DAMN...! lies, lies, and damn lies... nothing new to report here...

In his testimony today before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales was asked by Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA) to address inaccuracies in his 2006 testimony in relation to the Bush administration’s warrantless wiretapping program.

[...]

The disagreement that occurred was about other intelligence activities and the reason for the visit to the hospital was about other intelligence activities. It was not about the terrorist surveillance program that the president announced to the American people.

Today’s testimony contradicts what Gonzales had said previously. In June, Gonzales claimed that both he and Comey were referring to the same domestic spying program. “Mr. Comey’s testimony related to a highly classified program which the president confirmed to the American people sometime ago,” he said.

If Gonzales’ testimony is accurate today, then he is confirming the existence of a new administration spying program.

< yawn > just one more instance of our elected government lying through its teeth to its citizens...
