Conyers:Hospital Bed Incident

[cal04]

This excerpt is from yesterday's Washington Post editorial on the hospital bed incident with John Ashcroft regarding the warrantless surveillance program.

Trying to take advantage of a hospitalized man is despicable. That the behavior was exhibited by the future attorney general in an effort to circumvent the chain of command to get approval for a surveillance program the administration's top lawyers had already said was unacceptable is nothing less than disgraceful.

It is clear why we need an aggressive Congress willing to exert its oversight authority.
