WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department said Thursday it is investigating whether resigning Attorney General Alberto Gonzales lied or otherwise misled Congress last month in sworn testimony about the Bush administration’s domestic terrorist spying program.

Amazing!

BTW, did you see where Jimmy Carter was on the stage with John Edwards at a recent event?

Forget the union bosses, Jimmy supports John.

James Hoffa, Teamsters, was on Ed Schultz today. The issue is Mexican long haul trucks having country wide access starting as early as this weekend, Labor Day weekend ironically. I don’t know much about this issue but aren’t the republicans concerned about cargo from Mexico going anywhere in the US, security, etc?

Why haven’t I seen any MSM headlines about that? Aren’t the Republicans scared to death of brown people coming into America? Here they’re just going to let them drive in and not even arrest them?

How are we to be secure at the border if Republicans allow this? Are Republicans SOFT on national security?

The only disloyalty to this country I’ve seen comes from this administration with its extraordinary power-grab.

OK, What big news is going to happen here in the next few minutes?

I ask this since this is a Tula thread and the big news items have been coming during Tula’s threads recently

Hi Tula! ;})

Funny, but often true…let’s hope whatever news comes out involves an action by a hypocritical R…

From your fingers to the processor/ears of Dog/Goddess/Gaia/(insert name of supreme being of your choice here)

Thanks for the correction…I guess my brain fried at 700…2100 is just beyond the insanity limit;)

Relative to the topic the Mexican truckers are just another hack at unions and organized labor. That is where the left could have the greatest long-term impact…working to spread unionism to as many sectors as possible…pretty much all the things we are seeking would flow from a strong labor movement.

It is imperative that we rail upon the Democrats in Congress not only to get off their asses about FISA, Habeas, and Iraq, but that they ALSO step in and STOP a new war with Iran. The Bushites must NOT be allowed to get out front on this and lead the Democraps by the nose again into a new war.

Re: my 34
I find it odd that country wide access to long-haul Mexican trucks possibly starting this weekend hasn’t sparked the republicans or RW TV & radio pundits to pounce on this issue. They keep saying they are worried about american jobs. They keep saying they are better on security. They keep saying they are tougher on drugs.

The surprise here for me is that the Mexican truckers had not previously had access.

Whaddya think of former Alaska State Representative Vic Kohring’s attempt to suppress FBI evidence in his upcoming corruption trial?

Vic – The agents told Kohring he wasn’t under arrest, but made it clear he wasn’t free to leave, Kohring claimed in his statement. In fact, they locked the front door to his office and wouldn’t let him go to the bathroom or get a drink of water…

BTW, I’ll be here in Sitka tomorrow when Jake Metcalfe, Diane Benson’s dem Primary opponent arrives on the Malaspina from Ketchikan/Wrangell/Petersburg. I hope to see him at his short public event. I’ve invited him to my Saturday evening concert in Juneau.
