 | Senate Judiciary Committee w/Alberto Gonzales-7/24/07 Pt19 Part 19 of 32 Senate Judiciary Committee with Alberto Gonzales. End of Senator Chuck Schumer's first round of questions to Alberto Gonzales, Leahy weighs in. 7/24/07 KEEP IN MIND: Gonzales was given each and every question he would be asked beforehand. Nothing was a surprise - there was absolutely NO "GOTCHA!" Transcript of this portion of the hearing: SCHUMER: Mr. Chairman, I think we have to pursue this at some point. Because this is -- I've never heard anything quite like this. LEAHY: Could I ask, if I might, you said you made a clarification to some -- to a reporter. This is such a significant and major point. Did you ever offer such a clarification to either Senator Specter or myself? GONZALES: You mean in terms of what was said at the press conference? LEAHY: Yes. GONZALES: I don't believe so. But I think my correspondence and testimony is accurate. The statement at the press conference was not accurate, and I corrected it. That was corrected. SCHUMER: But, Mr. Chairman, if I might, now what the attorney general is saying the way this is clarified is that Jim Comey was not talking about the program the president... LEAHY: I'm going to ask for a review of the transcript, both of what Mr. Comey said... SCHUMER: Everyone knows that's not true. LEAHY: ... and what Mr. Gonzales said. There's a discrepancy here in sworn testimony. We're going to have to ask who's telling the truth, who's not. |
 | Senate Judiciary Committee w/Alberto Gonzales-7/24/07 Pt22 Part 22 of 32 Senate Judiciary Committee with Alberto Gonzales. Senator Russ Feingold's questions to Alberto Gonzales. 7/24/07 KEEP IN MIND: Gonzales was given each and every question he would be asked beforehand. Nothing was a surprise - there was absolutely NO "GOTCHA!" Transcript of this portion of the hearing: FEINGOLD: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I will be shortly introducing a resolution to censure the president and senior members of his administration for undermining the rule of law. From authorizing an illegal wiretapping program to claiming the power to detain U.S. citizens indefinitely without charging them, I think this administration has shown disdain for the Constitution and the laws of the land. You have played a central role in that effort, so I'd like to give you an opportunity to defend your actions. With respect to the NSA's illegal wiretapping program, last year in hearings before this committee and the House Judiciary Committee, you stated that, quote, "There has not been any serious disagreement about the program that the president has confirmed," unquote, that any disagreement that did occur, quote, "did not deal with the program that I am here testifying about today," unquote and that, quote, "The disagreement that existed does not relate to the program the president confirmed in December to the American people," unquote. FEINGOLD: Two months ago, you sent a letter to me and other members of this committee defending that testimony and asserting that it remains accurate. And I believe you said that again today. Now, as you probably know, I'm a member of the Intelligence Committee. And therefore, I'm one of the members of this committee who has been briefed on the NSA wiretapping program and other sensitive intelligence programs. I've had the opportunity to review the classified matters at issue here. And I believe that your testimony was misleading, at best. I am prevented from elaborating in this setting, but I intend to send you a classified letter explaining why I have come to that conclusion. Mr. Attorney General, the integrity of the congressional testimony of the highest law enforcement official in this country is an extremely important matter. I'd therefore ask that after reviewing that letter, you provide clarification in a classified setting. But also please consider how you can address this issue publicly to dispel the doubts about your veracity that this episode has raised. Will you agree to do that? GONZALES: I certainly would endeavor to do that, Senator. I guess I'm very surprised at your conclusion that I may have been misleading, if, in fact, you understood the briefings in the Intel Committees, quite frankly. I find your statement surprising, so I look forward to your correspondence. FEINGOLD: I look forward to your -- the information in the classified setting and to your public attempts to set this straight. And I strongly disagree with your analysis of how somebody would come down as to whether you were misleading. And, in fact, I'm appalled in addition by your efforts today to try to shift responsibility for the effort to strong-arm Attorney General Ashcroft. First, given your history of misleading this committee, I don't know why we should trust your account of the situation. Secondly, unless you're talking about a covert action, the limited gang of eight briefing itself was a violation of the National Security Act. And, third, it was you, Mr. Attorney General, who visited the hospital to try to strong-arm a sick man who had temporarily relinquished his responsibility. You -- you are responsible for those actions. PROTESTER: You are shameful! FEINGOLD: At your confirmation hearing in January, 2005, I asked you whether the president has the power to authorize warrantless wiretapping under the theories of the torture memo, and you called my question, quote, "hypothetical," unquote, when you knew full well -- full well -- that this had been going on for years. You could have spoken to me after the hearing and told me that there was something I should know that you couldn't explain in open session, but you did not. Then, during your campaign to reauthorize the Patriot Act, you told Congress that there were no abuses of that law that we needed to worry about, even though you had documents showing there had actually been problems with the Patriot Act and other surveillance authorities. FEINGOLD: Then again last year you came to this committee and told us that there had not been any serious disagreement about the warrantless wiretapping program the president confirmed in late 2005, a statement I believe was misleading at best. In every case you somehow managed to come up with some convoluted theory for why your statement was technically accurate. When you look at all these incidents together, it's hard to see anything but a pattern of intentionally misleading Congress again and again. Shouldn't the attorney general of the United States meet a higher standard? GONZALES: The attorney general of the United States should try to meet the highest standard. And I have tried to meet that standard, Senator. FEINGOLD: Do you feel you've met that standard? GONZALES: Obviously, there have been instances where I have not met that standard, and I've tried to correct that. When those standards have not been met, I've tried to make amends and try to clarify to the committee and to the American people about statements that I've made. FEINGOLD: You state in your testimony that the administration has transmitted to Congress a proposal to modernize the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. And yet your department still refuses to share with this committee and with the Intelligence Committee basic information about the evolution of the department's legal justifications for the illegal wiretapping program from 2001 to the present. And your legislative proposal contains a provision that would grant blanket immunity to individuals who cooperate with the government for participating in certain unidentified intelligence activities. How can you come to Congress with a straight face and ask for this immunity provision, yet at the same time refuse to tell most members of Congress what they would be granting immunity for? GONZALES: Well, of course, we have provided briefings to the Intel Committees. And, again, we don't think -- you know, we went to companies for help. They provided help in trying to protect this country. And we think that's appropriate for the Congress to consider. FEINGOLD: But I'm asking you how you can say that in light of the fact that most members of the Congress won't even be told what they're being granted immunity for. GONZALES: Well, again, we have provided what is in the judgment of the administration the appropriate briefings to the Congress about these activities. FEINGOLD: I don't think that cuts it for most people who are going to be voting on this. Do you agree that the potential liability of private entities for failing to follow the law is an important part of the enforcement of our privacy laws? GONZALES: If I understand your question, yes. FEINGOLD: I'm not asking whether you think there was an illegal activity in any particular instance. I'm asking you whether you think private liability is an important part of the enforcement scheme of our privacy laws. GONZALES: I think as a general matter that would be true, yes. FEINGOLD: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. |
 | Andrew Charles Yanoviak & Peter Meisen - Air date: 07-08-08 Andrew Charles Yanoviak & Peter Meisen Andrew Charles Yanoviak, AIA, is an environmental and codes specialist in Honolulu and a long-time advocate of the AIA. Yanoviak served on the national AIA Steering Committee for Building Performance and Regulations and has testified at ICC, UBC, BOCA, SBCCI, and CABO hearings. He is the president of Environmental Systems Planning & Design Consultants......On the Buckminster Fuller Challenge: I'm all for it. I just hope I have time to work on it. I have had several ideas already that I've passed over and it's amazing the research materials I have in my files on the World Game and also trim tab, and I've had quite a bit of correspondence with Bucky. I do plan [on submitting for the challenge]. I have until the end of October. I hope I can do it because time is marching on rapidly and I'm involved in so many other things. It needs to be done. It's a great concept. Friendship with Bucky: Every time Bucky was coming out here, his secretary Miss [Shirley] Sharkey would get in touch with me and let me know, and I would have a few minutes with Bucky at the Honolulu Airport or wherever was possible, so that's the way it worked. Bucky was a great architect, although many architects don't recognize him as such. He was a beautiful thinker, always working. He wore three watches back in those days: one for where he was, one for where he was going, and one for where he came from. At the Honolulu Airport one time he told me, "Andrew, I'm going to take a little nap." The first time it happened I was really shook up. He said, "It's going to last around five minutes. You'll think I'm dead. Do not disturb me. I need to rest." And then he tells me: "When I wake up, I don't want to hear anything about anything we've been talking about. I only want to know three things: where I am, what time my next flight is, and what gate I go to. I don't want to hear anything else from you. I'll judge if I have enough time to talk to you." But he was a great person. & Peter Meisen is a graduate (1976) of the University of California at San Diego with an Applied Mechanics and Engineering Sciences Degree. In 1986 he founded GENI, a non-profit research educational institute to explore global solutions for peace and sustainable development. His focus is on the premier strategy of linking electrical networks between countries and continents, with an emphasis on tapping renewable energy resources. In 1983, Meisen co-founded SHARE (Self Help and Resource Exchange), a large private, self-help food distribution program in the United States. Internationally, there are rural development programs in Mexico and Guatemala, using the strategies of micro-credit lending, community organizing and family health and nutrition. ________________________________________ Endorsements "I support with enthusiasm your initiative. While directing the Foreign Affairs of Egypt, between 1977-1991, I have advocated the integration of the electricity grids of all the African countries of the Nile River using the Nile as the infrastructure of this project. I believe, as you do, that electricity must be at the service of peace and international co-operation." Boutros Boutros-Ghali, Former Secretary General, United Nations "The most thoughtful and scientific solution to the world's problems I've ever seen." Ron Williams, Senior Research Director, General Motors "The program for a World Energy Grid deserves the attention and full support of individuals and groups throughout the globe concerned with creating a culture of peace based on genuine sustainable development. It's a practical vision and significant contribution to the movement for a just world order." Dr. Saul Mendlovitz, Dag Hammarskjold Professor of Peace at Rutgers University "The GENI initiative fits right into the more and more interdependent world. Globalization is about a more and more borderless world and the need to respond globally to the needs of mankind. To preserve our common base, the Earth, we need to join forces to generate electricity as environmentally friendly as possible. This is crucial and therefore GENI deserves support." Ruud Lubbers, former Prime Minister of The Netherlands |

 | John Pilger-Cambodia, The Betrayal part 2-5 The US not only helped create conditions that brought Cambodia's Khmer Rouge to power in 1975, but actively supported the genocidal force, politically and financially. By January 1980, the US was secretly funding Pol Pots exiled forces on the Thai border. The extent of this support-$85 million from 1980 to 1986-was revealed six years later in correspondence between congressional lawyer Jonathan Winer, then counsel to Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and the Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation. Winer said the information had come from the Congressional Research Service (CRS). When copies of his letter were circulated, the Reagan administration was furious. Then, without adequately explaining why, Winer repudiated the statistics, while not disputing that they had come from the CRS. In a second letter to Noam Chomsky, however, Winer repeated the original charge, which, he confirmed to me, was "absolutely correct." Washington also backed the Khmer Rouge through the United Nations, which provided Pol Pot's vehicle of return. Although the Khmer Rouge government ceased to exist in January 1979, when the Vietnamese army drove it out, its representatives continued to occupy Cambodia's UN seat. Their right to do so was defended and promoted by Washington as an extension of the Cold War, as a mechanism for US revenge on Vietnam, and as part of its new alliance with China (Pol Pot's principal underwriter and Vietnam's ancient foe). In 1981, President Carter's national security adviser, Zbigniew Brzezinski, said, "I encouraged the Chinese to support Pol Pot." The US, he added, "winked publicly" as China sent arms to the Khmer Rouge through Thailand. |
