The Senate Judiciary Committee chairman says he’s prepared to force telephone company executives to testify about the White House’s eavesdropping program if the Bush administration doesn’t fully cooperate in drafting new rules on what’s allowable.“If we don’t get some results, I’m prepared to go back to demand hearings and issue subpoenas if necessary,” Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., said Sunday on CNN’s “Late Edition.”
Either Specter is just providing cover, making us all think there might be a probe into the illegal eavesdropping allegations while the White House hides all of the evidence, or he is an idiot who really believes that Cheney is going to cooperate with him.
Specter is a slippery character. He says things that give hope to those of us looking for hope, and then when it comes time to deliver he fumbles the ball. There is a more then likely chance that Senator Specter is doing the bidding of the White House and has no real desire to hold the Bush administration or NSA accountable for any wrongdoing.
Once again, I hope I am wrong.
