the ex-veep's speech yesterday turned out to cover more than its billing promised.
al gore started out with domestic surveillance—as advertised—but then branched out to discuss torture, lack of accountability, lack of meaningful congressional oversight, abuse of power, the "unitary executive" theory, the "government of laws" in jeopardy, the current constitutional crisis, and related subjects. he didn't use the "i" word, but he specifically charged bush with lawbreaking.
his stature's definitely grown in my eyes since 2000.
the white house counterattacked, of course, but got their facts wrong.
looks an awful lot like gore's hat's in the '08 ring, folks.
