- Asked about Comey's testimony, White House press secretary Tony Snow said he didn't know anything about the conversation at Ashcroft's bedside. But he defended the program.
"Because he had an appendectomy, his brain didn't work?" Snow said of Ashcroft. "Jim Comey can talk about whatever reservations he may have had. But the fact is that there were strong protections in there, this program has saved lives and it's vital for national security and furthermore has been reformed in a bipartisan way."
You'd think Tony would be a bit more appreciative of the impact of hospitalization, what with his colon cancer and all.

Seriously, you're talking about
stopping a program that had been ongoing for a period of years, not starting it. the admin thought it was important and providing a real benefit. then, when the AG goes down, all of a sudden his stand-in tells the admin, (for the apparent first time?) that he will not sign it. remember, someone must have signed for it initially.
I realize how tacky it sounds on paper, but are you telling me it is that unreasonable to go ask the real AG if he agrees?
