House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers (D-Mich.) and Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), chairman of the subcommittee on the Constitution, civil rights and civil liberties on Judiciary, want more information from Attorney General Alberto Gonzales following the suprising revelations this week by former top DOJ official on infighting between the White House-Justice Department over the NSA's domestic eavesdropping program.
Specifically, Conyers and Nadler want to know if forrmer Deputy Attorney General James Comey's statements to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday - Comey described in full detail a March 2004 effort by Gonzales, then White House Counsel, and Andrew Card, former White House chief of staff, to get then Attorney General John Ashcroft to reauthorize the program over Comey's objections, a meeting that took place while Ashcroft was hospitalized - were accurate or whether Comey was describing another classified program.

Iraq Qaeda Group Demands U.S. End Search for Soldiers
Comment: WTF is up with these pieces of human shit that they can demand the U.S. do ANYTHING? They have our soldiers! They will pay a high price.
DUBAI (Reuters) - The self-styled Islamic State in Iraq, an al Qaeda-led group, demanded on Monday that the U.S. military stop searching for three soldiers it says it is holding, saying this was the only way to secure their safety.
"Your soldiers are in our grip. If you want the safety of your soldiers then do not search for them," the group said in a statement on a Web site used by insurgents.
U.S. troops backed by helicopters have been searching for three American soldiers who went missing in an al Qaeda stronghold near Baghdad on Saturday after an ambush that killed four other U.S. soldiers and an Iraqi army interpreter.
The posting did not carry pictures of the soldiers, make demands for their release or say what their fate would be. The group usually posts pictures of people it abducts as proof.
"You have suffered a setback today because you have described the U.S. soldier through your propaganda as invincible ... with grace from God the Almighty the U.S. soldier has been humiliated at the hands of faithful (Muslims)," it said.
"By searching for your soldiers you are only tiring yourself," it said, adding that the aggressive search showed that the U.S. military would rather "the whole army dead rather than having one crusader detained."
