    "Lawful in all Respects"?

    Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez spent all of Monday before a Senate committee defending the White House’s decision to tap Americans’ phone lines without court warrants. The hearings probably would not be taking place if the program’s existence hadn’t been leaked to New York Times reporter James Risen. Also: former Hong Kog governor Chris Patten.
