NSA Spying Scandal Now Expands to Incoprorate 'Clarifications'

Yeah, right.

In other words (my paraphrase, of course):

"Senator, let me rephrase my previous answers to your questions. Yes, we're screwing over The Constitution of The United States of America. We have obviously re-interpreted the law and don't see any legal problems with our under-handed activities".

Glenn Greenwald writes on Unclaimed Territory:

Alberto Gonzales sent a letter [.pdf] to the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday which contained what Gonzales called numerous "clarifications" of the testimony he gave on February 6 regarding the NSA program. What Gonzales actually did in this letter is identify numerous unambiguous statements to which he testified that were clearly false, and he "corrected" them in order to render them "true" in the narrowest, most legalistic, most misleading sense.

In doing so, he left no doubt that the Administration has been engaged in a series of false and misleading statements about their conduct as part of this scandal.
