Senior House Republican criticizes Gonzales
Sensenbrenner accuses attorney general of ‘stonewalling’ on eavesdropping

Updated: 11:30 a.m. ET April 6, 2006
WASHINGTON - The Republican chairman of the House Judiciary Committee pointedly criticized Attorney General Alberto Gonzales Thursday for “stonewalling” by refusing to answer questions about the Bush administration’s warrantless eavesdropping program.

Rep. James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., said Gonzales was frustrating his panel’s oversight of the Justice Department and the controversial surveillance by declining to provide information about how the program is reviewed inside the administration and by whom.

“How can we discharge our oversight if, every time we ask a pointed question, we’re told the program is classified?” Sensenbrenner asked Gonzales near the start of a lengthy hearing on the department’s activities. “I think that ... is stonewalling.”

1. Sensenbrenner can run away from these goons, but he cannot hide...

He's one of the Admin's favorite buttboys, and will ultimately pay for it in the polls...:grr:

2. Looks like he's trying though.

He's got too much baggage to pull it off.
