The news report that President Bush referenced in his confirmation of the program stated that THAT PROGRAM had been the subject of dispute:
In mid-2004, concerns about the program expressed by national security officials, government lawyers and a judge prompted the Bush administration to suspend elements of the program and revamp it.
. . . A complaint from Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, the federal judge who oversees the Federal Intelligence Surveillance Court, helped spur the suspension, officials said. The judge questioned whether information obtained under the N.S.A. program was being improperly used as the basis for F.I.S.A. wiretap warrant requests from the Justice Department, according to senior government officials. While not knowing all the details of the exchange, several government lawyers said there appeared to be concerns that the Justice Department, by trying to shield the existence of the N.S.A. program, was in danger of misleading the court about the origins of the information cited to justify the warrants.
One official familiar with the episode said the judge insisted to Justice Department lawyers at one point that any material gathered under the special N.S.A. program not be used in seeking wiretap warrants from her court. Judge Kollar-Kotelly did not return calls for comment.
So when Gonzales testified that the "program the President confirmed" had NOT been subject of dispute, the very report the President referenced in fact DESCRIBED a dispute.
Anonymous Liberal has it right, Gonzo is arguing that he was talking about the program that existed AFTER the dispute was resolved when the question clearly was directed at the whole period of the TSP.
I think it is clear that Gonzales did not testify truthfully.
