Re resp:394: Sen. Spector, the chair of the committee, argued that
lying to Congress is already a crime, so putting the witness under oath
was not necessary. Funny, no one ever argued that when Attorney
General Reno was being questioned, or even when baseball players were
being questioned about steroid use.
Another interesting moment came when a Senator (I forget which one -- I
was listening in the car) asked the Attorney General about dissenting
views inside the administration that had come to light about the NSA
spying program. The Attorney General said that he thought those
dissenting views weren't about the NSA program, but about "other
operations." That suggests to me that the NSA domestic spying that
we've heard about is only the tip of the iceburg.
