Specter Lets Gonzalez Off the Hook

Despite referring to the Bush Administration's legal arguments regarding domestic spying as "strained and unrealistic" Judiciary Chairman Arlen Specter (R-PA) today let AG Gonzales completely off the hook by not requiring that Gonzales testify under oath today.

This is despite the fact that the Attorney General has already misled the judiciary committee on this very subject.

Lying to Congress doesn't help our National Security. Congress letting the Administration lie doesn't help our National Security.
