They sometimes forget

[phantom power]

If I ever said something 1/10 this stupid in a job interview, it would be over right there. But no. Here in Bizarro world, you can say this and get confirmed as Attorney General.

BIDEN: Thank you very much.
General, how has this revelation damaged the program?

I'm almost confused by it but, I mean, it seems to presuppose that these very sophisticated Al Qaida folks didn't think we were intercepting their phone calls.

I mean, I'm a little confused. How did it damage this?

GONZALES: Well, Senator, I would first refer to the experts in the Intel Committee who are making that statement, first of all. I'm just the lawyer.

And so, when the director of the CIA says this should really damage our intel capabilities, I would defer to that statement. I think, based on my experience, it is true -- you would assume that the enemy is presuming that we are engaged in some kind of surveillance.

But if they're not reminded about it all the time in the newspapers and in stories, they sometimes forget.

1. NOw, what experts exactly. Isn't this the kind of "intellligence" that

got us into IRAQ, hunting WMD.

When asked a question about his supporting rationale Gonzo says: "UHhhh, well, I didn't say it, HE said it. not ME. Don't ask ME to explain it.


Okay, who "HE" then?
