MORE SPYING?….After Alberto Gonzales seemed to imply a few days ago that the NSA’s domestic spying program might not be the only domestic spying program that Congress didn’t know about, Jane Harman asked him directly about it:

White House counsel Harriet Miers called Harman on Wednesday, and Gonzales phoned yesterday, Harman said. She said both of them “assured me that there is not a broader program or an additional program out there involving surveillance of U.S. persons.”

Oh yeah? Then who installed all those secret surveillance cameras in the Guam airport? Hmmm?
