Triangulating on the Truth

There is probably more than one program; at least that is our humble suspicion

Dan Froomkin - Triangulating on the Truth - washingtonpost.com:

In the absence of straight answers from this administration, journalists must resort to triangulation to determine the truth.

Former Deputy Attorney General James Comey testified in gripping detail Tuesday about the 2004 revolt by top Justice Department officials against President Bush's warrantless wiretapping program. In February 2006, however, Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales testified that 'there has not been any serious disagreement about the program that the president has confirmed.'

If both officials were testifying honestly -- and the Justice Department yesterday stood by Gonzales's testimony -- there's only one way to reconcile their statements: Prior to Comey's protest, there was much more to the program than the president has thus far confirmed.
