He's doing Abu G a disservice, and is too dumb to know it. Gonzo would like us to think the spying discussed in March 2004 was more or less identical to that revealed in December 2005. My suspicion is that it was much, much worse. That's to say, Abu G would rather Congress chase him for perjury -- instapardon! -- than have to fess up on three years of illegal mass automated surveillance. One final thing: that Negroponte memo wasn't leaked. It's been floating around for over a year. Let Assrocket quibble. He’s doing Abu G a disservice, and is too dumb to know it.

When I was at a midwestern "top 10" law school in the late 1990's, I was amazed at the outright untruths and stupidity coming from the mouths of by brilliam right-wing peers. It's part lies, part ideological blindness, and 100% propaganda. They are very good at making black seem like white, and, like the Jedi mind trick, is very effective on the weak-minded, who comprise an all-too-large proportion of our population.

On NPR this morning they said that the memo was declassified over a year ago to defend the bush assertion that congress had been "fully briefed" on his warrantless surveillance program.
