Gonzales Draws Criticism From Panel Chief
By MARK SHERMAN, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON -
The Republican chairman of the House Judiciary Committee pointedly
criticized Attorney General Alberto Gonzales Thursday for
"stonewalling" by refusing to answer questions about the Bush
administration's warrantless eavesdropping program.
Rep. James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., said Gonzales was frustrating his
panel's oversight of the Justice Department and the controversial
surveillance by declining to provide information about how the program
is reviewed inside the administration and by whom.
"How can we discharge our oversight if, every time we ask a pointed
question, we're told the program is classified?" Sensenbrenner asked
Gonzales near the start of a lengthy hearing on the department's
activities.
"I think that ... is stonewalling."
