Getting Off On Wrong Foot

So Attorney General Alberto Gonzales is speaking on the "unlegal" wiretapping, which the president is calling a "terrorist surveillance program" (which hasn't caught many terrorists, BTW).

But for some reason, Republicans running the hearing don't want Gonzales to be sworn in (and they won that battle). Which means that the Attorney General can lie his ass off during these entire hearings, but he will be trusted solely based on his title in rank in our government, and not on his past actions.

The "Trust Me, I'm the Government" mantra is losing it's once mind-boggling popularity. People want honest answers and they should get them without political trickery. Swearing in Mr. Gonzales would have been a good first step toward getting honest answers.
