Senate Judiciary Democrats Question Att. Gen. Gonzales on NSA SurveillanceBy Andrew Cochran
On Wednesday, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter sent a letter to Attorney General Gonzales with 15 questions to be answered at the February 6 committee hearing on the NSA surveillance program. Committee Democrats sent their own letter yesterday with 6 questions, including demands for numerous documents from within the Executive Branch pertaining to the decisions surrounding the program. I'm sure that the Attorney General will not provide documents which would reveal the discussions and deliberations within the Executive Branch, and I'm also sure that the committee Democrats knew that when they drafted the letter. Sen. Specter's letter didn't explicitly ask for any documents, and the Attorney General will not disclose Executive Branch deliberations in response to his questions, either.
