yohave a reputation of personal and professional toughness d stick-totiveness. u sae highesto in e land, present of the united states, you never quit. >> no, i don't think she quit. i think she changed -- >> she made a promise to the voters to serve out her term, di't she? >> i don't know if therwas a, quote,promise. she will be an effective player on the nationalstage. and i will say i have never seen a sustained personal fami attacks made on srah palin and her family in my life.
6:03 am
>> okay. heree another summer monday morning and sarah palin is still on all the front pages. welcome to "morning joe" at 6:00 on the east coa. i'm mika brzezinski. what ashot that is. willie is off. joe is off. that's okay. we have "time"agazine's mark halperin here. do we have patyet? patuchanan joins us from washington and howperfect, pat. sarapalin does not leave the front -- look at the "new rk times." is woman is a draw. i don't kn what kind of a daw and evertime i try to aracterize it i getailed on the inrnet. do you wanto try to t a st at it? >> sure. i think the liberal tablishment is very obsesd with her. it rekable. i'veev seen a ca where you have a former vice presidential candidate of a defeated ticket who is gettg this kin of attention x, eightonth
6:04 am
after the election is over. i think they're very fascinated with her because she is a wan isery pro-life and conservative but attractive and very acmplished and ve controversial and she was a sensation forhe first two wes, frankly during the whole campaign. she was the one besidesarack obama who cod attract enormous following but it is an ermous following. >> i agree with that completely and i think that's the way to characteze . peggy noonan has que a pie on her. she's everywre on the ver of your magazine. >> she's on the cov of "time" but is making hersf available pretty widely. we thought after r press conference she would disappea and let that statement speak for itself. whether e planned to dothat, doll these interviews or didn't think t statement did all tt well, she sat down with our arch enemy "the new york times," talked to a bunch of people last week. she's not hidi.
6:05 am
>> i think patuchanan seems to thinis wouldn't have haened to joe biden. >> it would nothave. are you kidding me? >> if barack omaost, we woul't be obsessed with joe biden. i think allice presidential candidates -- >> yeah, mm-hmm. sure, sure sure. speaking of "the nework times," though, we're also gng to get to the cistory about vice president cheney. licheney will be on toow, by e way, and whether or not he tried to have the cia withhold infortion to congressional intelligenc officials about a secret prram. we have some ieresting insight into that. spoke to a rmer senior intelligencefficial yesterday. it discous entire article in "e times." we'll get to that squl. time now for a look at today's headnes. another big story today, sonia sotomayortas thenational spotlight when the senate confirmation hrings begin on her nomination to be the first hispanic judge on the sueme court. althoughotom is expected
6:06 am
to be confirmed, repuicans are prising to put up a fight. >> im really flabbergasted by the depth and constency of her philosophicalritique of impartl stice. i ink that's a real expression ofhers, and ihink it will -- it does not show up as mucon the lower cot where you're supervised by ur circuit in the sueme court. it canhow up much more on the supreme court. >> judge sotomor, she be approved? >> i believe s'll be approved and i think there's very good chance she'll get as many if not got which was 78.ge roberts she has wowed peoplend she makes a great impression and the very imprsion she's mad on 89 setors she's going to make millns of americans asthey wah e hearings. she is going to be approved a large margin. >> all right. we'll have senator schumern later in the show. these mination hearings are
6:07 am
going to be like the "seinfeld episodes. >> in what respect? aut nothing. it's going to fine. t's going to b a lkthrough for her. i think she's a liral justi. she's not a wildly crazy justice. it was appropriate alito and roberts were confirmed. i think it'she case againnd i think for most of th senate, apart from all the other issues aroundender and all that, peop look a her and say she's qualified anshe'll be on the court. >> we'llave pat chime in on that later. meanwhile, some democratic senators are callin f an investigation after larning congss was reportedly not briefed on aop secret cia program at was all aaren the work of vice president dick eney. >> the answer is, yes, congress shld have been told and we shouldave briefed bef
6:08 am
the comncement of thisind of sensitive program a. they could have watched the program. they could have asked r regular rerts on the pgr. they couldave made judgments abouthe program as it we along. that was not the case because we were kept in the dark. >> the question i'll be asking comi uis was the program actually a program. feinstein adde leonanetta quickly ended the program which began after /1 and was portedly never fully operational which, of course, some argue is why they wer't briefi cgrsional members. they will ho hearings on the ture of the mysterious program which i p in quotes. three men are being held in connection with e murders of a wealthy frida couple known for adopting children with mental disabilities the husband and wi were shot to death while eig ofheir 16 children slept. more aests are expected. > south korean media is rerting north korean leader kim ng-il has life-threatening pancreatic ncer.

6:11 am
systemyet. typicall july 10th is the age. so for once it seems the last couple of years we've been so active. is year nice and quiet. >> okay. well, dot jinx it, ill. >>sual do. >> bill karins,hanks very much. time for our top taers. we'll sta with the cia story. front page of the "new yor times" yesterdayasically saying tat vice prident dick cheney reportedly tried toeep a cia program from being told about to congress. keep the biefings to congressional intelligence officials, and i actually am hearing quita different story but let's fit play senator dick durbin on "this week with george stephanopolous" because he is calling for an investigatn. take a listen. >> senator durn, do you think this has tbe investigated? >> absolute it doe let me tellyou, we have a system o checks and bances there is accounbility in our constitution. th executiveranch of government cannot cate programs like these ograms an keep ngress in the dark.
6:12 am
have a massi program that is concealed from the leaders in congresss not only inapopriate it could be ilgal. >> pat buchanan, che in on this. what's your gut? i'm hearing there s not a program that was actually being ecuted, that this was somethinthat was very much in the initial phases,nformation gaering versus covert action. what would there to tell congress about and also w does dick durbin know that it's a massive ogram? we're goin to have him the show and i'll ask him. >> well, i don't know that it's a mssive program and i dot it very sious interestingly e ad of the ci mr. panetta, was not even informed himself uil the 24th or 25th of june ande rushed u togress and to the committee, the intelligence committee, to tell them. but i agree with you, mika. i think and i believe t"the wal street journal", is it not, rerting today this may have be a targeted assassination of
6:13 am
al qaeda-type thgor which the president sued a findin they wenover to the cia, and it never became basicalla full-fledged pgram, we're going forwarwith this. >> right >> and so, therefore, they may havefelt they had no obligation to inform congress of justdeas they were kicking around tha never came to finality. >> well, that's what i'm hring and i'm look iing at the "wa street journal" storyore talking out. mark, it -- >> the wd initiative and effort not program. >> yes. >> and i think what this story is reporting suggests is wha the people in the a on background are suggesting this s not a full-fledg program, our source says, and not something that theneeded to brief on. democrat it seems to me, feel they have something here on the substancit's really important or the politics of it are so good. clearly what got ople's
6:14 am
attention was the vice esident personally sd it should be kept from congress. whether it w a program or a initiative, if thas the case, if he id affirmatively ngress shouldn't be inford, people areoing to be intested in that regardless of whether we cl a program initiative or an effort. >> but we have to kow the nature of it and that's what's so difficu dealing with an effort that the cia has been or still is part of dertaking. apparently it's over. but if they never actually carried it ou wha is there to tell congress about? >> well, i think thessue is this is pa of the mytholo of dick cheney toome eent, here today rather than tomorro it's did he make an affirmative desion? congress shodn't know about this, don't te them. whatever the nature of tivity was,if that's the case, people areoing to be interested in his ro there. >> the source i spoke to and, pat, theource i've spoken to has saidhe pogram was neve developeenough to either talk to congress aut or to tlk to anybody high levelin the adnistration about. therefore, there wasothing to talk about. >> if he kw about it --
6:15 am
>> that's my guess as t what happed as well. let me say ts, t politics of thisthe president of the united stes, barack obama, says we have to lk to the future. mccain sayse have to look to the future. if we go back into thisnd if you go back to wherer. holder, the attorney general, is saying now may have a special prosecutor for the cia a the wateoaing and all the rest of it, i think dick cheney is like brair rabbit, you are throwing him tohe breyer patch. going after the republicans on 0 national security that the republicans were overly overly ruthless.rly tough and that is the playing field i think that couldear the democratic party apart and it's to the advtage quite frankly dick cheney o i believein that last face-off hasone very well and he's the one that been rising in the polls as a conseqnce of all of this. >> it's so interesting you s that abo t concern for the mocratic party because mark halperin, the othe story that broke over the weekend volves eric holder d potential
6:16 am
torture investigator or prosecutor? >> limited. 's not talkinabout doing a full investigion of everythg buthere some limited cases where he's dided he may feel he nds to goorward and investigate and maybe prosecor. not the ite hoe's focu of going forward but the attorney geral is sposed to be inpendent in the abstract at least itould be nice if hwas followg e evidencewherever it led raer than doing the white house's polical bidding. i don't think this is as big de, though. whethehere are aew prosecions or none at all, as long as there's not a broad based investigation people will be fine withit. >>ll right, t? >> let me dissent onat to this extent we know pretty much what happened. the cia d use the techniques, wate board,t ceteraon at ast three. theyid get legal judgmentrom folks th they could do it and they wererdered to do that by the president the united statnd the vice president. if you have an instigation,
6:17 am
you go right up th food chain right intohe white housend the ov office, andhe vice presidt's office from the outset, think, because t cia guys are goingto say, look, we were authorized to d0 this. here's the papere ud. d the guys that wrote the paper said we were ask to write it by cheney and that' what we wrote. >> do we need ts? >> i d't know if w need it i'll tl how doesn't need it is rack obama. i would ink i wld go further thanhat mark is. i'rty sur it's not their foc focus,ou cee tension arise between the president and the attorney general on is question. i aee with mark that's the quasi indepdence of the important but as aolitical matt i think pat is right. if you ask barack oba if he actually -if it was not an dependent agency, the justice departme, he would not hve ericoldo i they must look at this with a little bit o annoyance and a little bit of concern because this raised a bunch of sues
6:18 am
that do themo particular good litically. and here we're talkingbo a r potentiasecond stimulus packa package. we're wondering where the first one is going, has go, will go, and the unemployment rate is something we need to talk abou as well because ift's not going to me it, we're sti ing to have theame problem we have right now a coue of ars from now and we will be talking about a second stimulus package unless someone comesp with a better dea. so thas one of t issues that i think theresident would like to see moving forward on a seeing som success on. i have some interestin op-eds on tt coming up. >> all he cares about isealth care. >>exactly. which he has -- the president s -- >> these arell distractions from the only thing that matters to this president. >> correct. the president has a piece, i believe, in "the washiton post" this morng which we'll be reading to you as ell. coming up on the show, senator chuck schumer ere be here. he's pdicting sonia sotomayor will be approved by a rge margin. al ranking reamian on the senate judiciary committee, senator jeff sessions.

6:23 am
>> that's just wrg. that was so dumb, by t way. did u guys see that picture er the weekend? oh, whatever. never mind. well, just think newspapers are desperatehen they put a picturin like that. that's all i'm going to say. here with us now chief political correspondent of politico, mike allen. good to see you ismorning. well, welco back, mika thboys were very naughty while you were go. >> they were? >> they were. >> well, why don't you tell m what they d and i'll take ca of it. >> welcome back. >> good to see you. let's start with sotomayor, the hearings startg today. she testifiestoday. what i t white house' strategy as they prepare? >> mika, they want herto come acro as boring as possible. favote aunt is how she's going to come across because, johnas saying earlier, yes, s's liberal, and they don't want th to be what pele take away. so in her opening statement we'll hear a lot about he person story. we're going to hear aot about specics how she approached
6:24 am
cases so shs not going to sound acemic or abstractand, me car there's going be a sympathy factor because, unfortunately, she's sti, can you believe itstill in that walking cast from when she brok her ankle back at laguardia a montago so e will a little stool under the table to put it up on and if she nds to e can take an injury time-out. >> okay. sounds good. those hearing by the way, will be aired re live on msnbc starting at0:00 a.m. easter time. chris matthews will be you host, just so you know, mike. >> mik d the audience will see a host of nephews, nieces, even godchildren,ormer clerks, so a bikrooting section for the judgthis morning. >> that will be nice. the next topic on the potical playbook, bush bashing. sh i bk. >> iove this. in commercials docrats are using this as their number wone
6:25 am
go-to. i thought maybe it woulde the vice preside. he'll probably be back, too, but in gernor's races in both virginia and new jersey we'r seeing the preside again and again and docratic officials are telling us, mika, they will keep talking about ts as the bush recsion, that it will be the bush recession as longs it lasts and epecially -- especial if republicans go to what everyone on "morning joe" agrees is theirbest issue which isorrow and spend, docrats argoing to keep reinding republicans, hey, your former guy, presint bush, started it all. >>yes, but ifou get abt two years into it and you lookt the spending this administraon has put forward, you co say the numbers are mu higher than eight years in office. how do they do is? i guess how do peoplefall for this? >> it ll be using the bush's short hand that he's goingo remind them of a the things they didn't like about the last eight years, mind them why theyswitched. >> bush is a four-letr word. >> if unemployment stays as is, it's just not gng to work.
6:26 am
>> no, it's going to be higher. 10.5%. >> that's wh we're looking at. >> everything wee hearing, mika, the recovery ne year is going be very slow, whi will me it very hd r democrats inidterms in 2011 as the re-election caaign gears up, the recovery will b robust. it's right on schedu for the presiden it's not for congressional democrats. they're very worriedbout it. >> do you ink it's on schedul r the presint? i'm no so sure uess we figure out exacy where the stimulus money is going and if it's actually going to createeal jobs dn the road. >> just in the last ten da i feel like it's partly because of your reporting, arguments ainst the stimus have ystallized, startin catch onmuch, much mre skepticism. >> we'll asking those quesons. finally on the politico playbook, the fund-raise president obama is going home to make se money. >> love this, question yes. icago, a week from thursday, there will be two hge events.
6:27 am

6:28 am
was it a program? was it somhing that congress needed t hear about and did dick cheney keep that information from going to congress? that's the controversy of the day. we're talkg about that. "washington post," hearings, not just about sotomor's confirmation process cld be a partisan platform and a barometer. that will be interesti okay. we can gauge that. "new york tis," a new push t lookback. bush era issues m force obama's hand andth story on the left, retrang pal's long march to a short notice resiation. you cannot argue whether it's middle america, whether it's rul america, whether i's just america. there'interest in her. i'm ju yi, i'meing very reful with the words. >> not at this table. >> there's no interest in her? >> a subje of no concern. >> i'm not sure about her. i have to tell u. i'm no sure where this is gog. >> many mind iam. convolut on the issue.

this? i mean, its endless, jonathan capehart, but she keeps coming out the front and center in the headlines. >>yes, she keeps coming out front andenter to her triment. i think peggy noan is rig. i've been saying the same thing from the very beginning. sarah paliis a raw talent. she is someone we talk about all the time who fascinates people, fascinates the american people but she doesn't ha the discipline n the interest, it ems, to do the hard work it takes to be a real leader on t national sge. it's one thing to get atention. it'snother thing toet attention for substantive eas, for substantive issues and where she was to -- whe she would like to take the party as a leader and wre she would like to take th country if shee ven the privilegef having high office. >> but, mark halperin, we keep ying, yeah, yeah, things like at, but she's on the front page of thenew york times" today and she'sn the cover of your magazine.
6:46 am
is sgesting.ith what frank rich thiss bad for the replican party. someone has either stand up to her and the negativehings about her they have to saywe have toove on. people arentested in her but all that she represents right now, maybe she can change and evolve a turn into what pat wants her to be, but what she represents right now is bad for the republican party. >> what's interesting here th these headlis, pat buanan, whatld you with the weight that she carries, the spotlight that she brings with her? if you were sort of trying to chine ate where the republican party needs to go,would you list her? >> sure,look, the republican party is, at, at 20 in the polls. where are conservatives? they're at 40%nhe polls. people who belie the republican party is in trouble because it's not liber enough ought take a look at all the moderate candidates we have nominated, dole an mccainnd geld fordlose.
6:47 am
ronald reagan wins. but sarah palin's future, i lieve, is this -- it may not be in running for president. i don't think she out to say i'm going to run for president now and i don't think she out to decide it but she has this enormous ability to get out crowds, mive people. >> she does. >> it' attractive. in an off ye election the base is what counts. if you ta a lk at the rasmussen l, it shshat 30% of the count tremendously favorable and high on obama but 35% is tremeously against him. that's why the 2010 election is going to be aase election, a get out the vote eltion. th african-americacounity isot going to be motivatethe way it was in 2008 and she an traordary assetin 2010. frank rich and everybodyom ps on her the more attracti she is to the consvatives and 40% of the country. >> is p blinded b love? come on. >> i would never want to cricize pat's analytical
6:48 am
skills because they're ormous. i want to ask jonathan capehart a estion that here is sarah lin could be the nominee for republicans in 2012 and it would be a goldwater-like disaster. if tt's the case, it's worse than a goldwater-like does ser. barry goldwater was a pa gone of rigorous nservatism that his loss it was easy toee what the rd map ahead was for the republica party. i men, he was a serious person with a seriousset of ide that happened to get tunced in the national election. sarah palin does not repsent anything lik that kind of coherent, rigorous idea aut what the republin partyr the coervative movement stands for. a lot like her becaus they hate the fact liberal beat up on her. she doesn't represent a set of coherent, well-worked o views of the world. let me agree with that let me agreeith that. the description of barry goldwater wasctly right a i think the suggestion that a
6:49 am
of now sarah palin ha n indicated oronstrated that coherent philosophy or deep knowlee in it and ability to reallexpress it on national television in face-to-face encounters. think that is true. wheri disagree with peggy noonan is to say she n. th is an enoous ly talented person. she took on the establishmenup there and overthrew it. she d a go job as governor. e has great assets. i dohink she was brough up very, very soon. i mean, she might have done better, pele say, if s spent eight or ten years in the nate but she was brought up wn she was. >> jonathan capehart, i just want to ask you in the -- if yo look ahead to 2012 and given the decion of a bunch of other candidates on the republican side already, are we not looking at a fight here between sarah pan and mitt romney? d if that's the case, where do you think the republican party will gravitate? >> you ow, that's a great question. i member after the election
6:50 am
talking to someone in e republican party member a asking at what point is mitt mney, and please forgive this saying, at what poi is mitt romney going to snuff th baby? in t sense sarah palin rode this huge wave of support. she was the one w got the crowds out for joh mccain. she was the one engizing in the li of the party, butt was mitt romney and a few other people on the more thinking side of the prty who wre the ones who had the ideas and o were trying to come up with ways to save the part now that it had been trped in the electio so think mitt romney has t keep doing what he's doing and at's going up to capitol hill, talkg to republics. remember, he wt up to the hill around the time o the first stimulus package talking to republics about what they should be doing to put inside th bill. meanwhile, sarah palin wasoing lots of cotn candy like things
6:51 am
and garneng a lot of ess, badpress, so i think, yes, u're absoluty right. i were to put people into the 2012 showdown it would be sarah palin versus mittomney and right now i wouldsay -- i would pumy money on mi romney because i' more about substance than the style that sarah palin represents. >> i know halperin wants to jump in. we havtwo other stories t get . the cia tory. jonathan, stick around. i want to read the op-ed about the stimulus pn and what it's not doing because ithink it's really good. it takes on the president, a piece in "the washington post," which was run yesterday. jonathancapehart, pat buchanan, stay with us. comi up, senar chuck schumer. he's predicng supreme court nominee sonia sotoyor will be approved by large margin. we'll talk to senat about that as ll as the cia story in

rfectly, the stimulus wowould not come closese to stemng the cacaade of jobobssnessunleashed byhis me recsion. is the stimulus an, sesetor, goining to create thee kininds jobs that our system is hemorrrrging now?w? >> it'ss certainlyly going to eate jobs. i undersnd the anguish of a guy like bob herbert. i feel it when i heaear my constituents.. i was up buffalo yesteterday peopople ce over to me, help me find a job, it gets to u. e stimuluspackage, look, we -- the p president came ininn the worsrseconom time since the dedeession financncl marks were shot and we riskedhe geat depressssion. we trul risk the great depresession a the initial l thrust of the stimulus packe was to g some moneyut therer into the ecoconomy quickck. ifif not y'd he a deflatioionary spspal. we don't ris the great pression. the seco phase can haha t the stimulus is job creation. those are the roroad buildingssd ththe brid building and t the

7:09 am
number? >>t's hard pi a right numberer. i would have hadittle bit moren there. i probly would have had a littleit more on t the infrasucture side, but, again, it was a diffult tuati. rememberer one thing, whwh y're ususually a recession, frst you n't have the banks frozeze and, second, youou low interest rates. that's what we've done. president bush beequeath to esident obama 1% interest rates d a largee recession. brannew. very harard to dl with. >> and is it t te on politics that as i thinknk everyone at ts table prprobably thinks there e no politicalalsset for a second stimulus? >> there is not toooo much an petite at the moment.. now if the jobob situationon continues to get as bad as it isget worse than it is no it's s somethinge'll have to look at. itit's premature to d it nonow. if we did it now, the onomy recovevered an we had 15% flatioand more people were laid off, you'd say y why did u do it? so it's a difficult needle to threadad. they have very s smart peoe workinon this.

7:21 am
we have a snator here callllg for an vestigation. it sms like there's a lo of politicscs iolved here. >> welel it's typicically the ce t there's -- thiss just part of a series of steps that the administraraon mayant to take to look backwas. u've heard off attornrn general hold now considering bringnging a prosecutor to lookokt alleged torture during the bush a admiministrati, so this will ta some form where there w will be very seriouous questis, perhs an ininstigatn as senatotor durb indicated over the weekend. he would l like to see. we do know director panetta shut down whatever program m this wa whenene leard about itt d then briefed c congres about wht he hadad done. it was d democra only who produced thihis letterto make this public. we still don't know what the nature o o the progogram was b e certaiy know there has been n a batttt of wills here between dedecrats d the c ov how mu bbh-era programming was briefed congress. so this is certainly n not goin
7:22 am
toto go ay. the will be a lot more quesestions abt it and the exact nature of th program d whetether th former vi presidenenwill wghn on t tis will moveve i forward. >> pat buchanan, before wewe ge to senator d durbin, jt followininup on vid's commenents, itoes seeeem, you uld argue, th there are some political reputations atat stake here and t that thistory could back uor shore upsome polilitical putations that have been bught down rerecently. >> iagree with tht. i think, look,, on the nation seserity sues, if you'r're going to go aftetebush and cheney because thth were too totough, o ruthless, going afteter al l qa totoo militant, i tnk that's going to benefit t t repepublic party y quite franany. it willl divde theemocrac partand will raise that old spececter th these guysys are st natiol security. i'd liketo asksk david, david, has anybodody askedhe question how is it t that leon panet, whom ty said shutownhe prograas soon as he heard about it, didn't even hear about
7:23 am

7:50 am
white house'stce on this has evolved a bit. rly on he said i don't want to investigate. don't do this. he didn't say he was gng to go behind-theces and actively campaign but he made it clear at his position was and hoped that would carry the day. that's not going to happen. at's pretty clear. congress igoing to investigate at least via the intelligence committee, probabla coue othe pels will ju inn this. d then this issue athe justice department which obably is the most fascinating thing that i sa about it, has too with the fact there has been some tension between justice and the white house o this and, frankly, it's a story that thehite house is ting to me lemonade out of by sa, see,e have an independent justice dertment. you wouldn have seen this type ofriction in the previous administration or sohey would ke to claim. look, i think, you know, let's take all of these stories in o
7:51 am
big thing. really the only important -- the mo iortant thing the president has to focus on getting the publis trust on the economy and puing health care. cheney, the cia, and in some respects sotomayor are ne but they're clouding the twoost importantssues the president has to get hisrms around this week, winning ba trust of the middle on the economy and pushing heth care through. >> i would completely agree with you yet the qutions are being raised by newsrganizations like "the york times." rorter: re. >> pat buanan, chime in. as i've been reporting d i'll say it forchuck's benet here, intelligence official yesterday for quite some tme say tat go this program that cheney was apparently bloing the ciarom intelligence officials information on was noteven a program. it was not operational. was not even at the stage where you would tell mbers of
7:52 am
congress about it or ta to high-level admistration officials about it. is this ch ado about nothing to get the attention off wha needs to b to get the attentionf what needs tbe done? it's a massive distraion. if it's that much of a program, and pennetta hado shut it down, why wasn't pennetta informed for six months that it wa going on i his cia. chuck, itms to maep he you a re problem for the administrationf they go forward at holder's level, and theyppoint a special counl. e first thing the cia guydo is say yeah, wdid it, andere is the authorizaon from the lawys that said to do it, and cheney and the president told u to go ahead and do it. >>orter: and in the president's gut, he doesn't want to do this, and they made it
7:53 am
clear, they don't wanto do it. thwest wing does not want to get into this becausef what you are saying. ultimately a laer getsaido not tel you whathe law is, but tonterpret the law, to tell youow far you can push things untilou cross a line that, you kno that a judge ll say is illegal. lawyers, that's what lawyers get paid to do. they getaid to interpret the law in a way that allows you to retch things. so you are on a -- this is a ry daous aspect too after, because the cia guys will say, as you said, pat, weot theetter from theseawyers that sai that we could do is you can't suenly change the law retroactively, because ther is another interpretion o this. you knowi am sure thathere are lel minds that will fight ansay, you know, i n't know what i a talking about here, but that seems to me that it's a
