President Washington, President Lincoln, President Wilson, President Roosevelt have all authorized electronic surveillance on a far broader scale.

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales

What more needs to be said? Who knew, besides Attorney General Gonzales that Washington possessed the capability to authorize electronic surveillance?

It is a shame that not a single senator called Gonzales on his interpretation of the historical record. Perhaps the reason Ben Franklin was flying kites in electrical storms was to aide Washington in his electronic surveillance program.

Maybe the next time Attorney General Gonzales testifies before the Senate Judiciary Committee they can get him under oath and further expand upon the electronic surveillance programs of the first George to serve as president of the United States.
