<-----President Bush shut down an internal Justice Department investigation into the administration's warrantless wiretapping program against the advice of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, according to a letter sent by a senior Justice Department official to Congress yesterday. To Democrats, it's yet another example of why Gonzales should step down.
The investigation, launched in January 2006 by the Department's internal watchdog, the Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) -- an office created in the wake of the Watergate scandal to prevent similar abuses by DoJ officials -- would have examined whether Department officials had properly reviewed the legality of the NSA's Terrorist Surveillance Program, which dates back to 2001.

Interesting one might hope that the pass press conferences and comments are lost. Now when did Bush understand law. We are to believe that Gonzo said no and Gerbil said yes. Both better hope no inside information comes out. Kyle Sampson better watch what he's eating and his back because it could blow the lid off the White House. Let's hope Gonzo is putting his resume out there as he travels on taxpayers money to spread the love for lying and firing.
