Off The Cheney

I can't say that I'm surprised. But still, it annoys the FISA out of me that Cheney really doesn't care about citizens rights. If he wants these illegal NSA wiretaps, there's no way that he's in favor of the Constitution, right?

Vice President Cheney told Justice Department officials that he disagreed with their objections to a secret surveillance program during a high-level White House meeting in March 2004, a former senior Justice official told senators yesterday.

The meeting came one day before White House officials tried to get approval for the same program from then-Attorney General John D. Ashcroft, who lay recovering from surgery in a hospital, according to former deputy attorney general James B. Comey.

SO, the question is; Did the veep knowingly send (then-White House Counsel) Alberto Gonzales and Andrew Card (Bush's chief of staff) to John Ashcroft's bedside to circumvent James Comey's decision to not re-authorize the wiretap program?

I bet he did.
