    Question for Glen G, if you're reading this...

    In response, Alberto Gonzales refused to allow Ashcroft or Comey to testify about any such matters ... "Clearly, there are privilege issues that have to be considered," Gonzales said.

    If I'm reading the description of the scene in the hospital room correctly, is Bush (via Gonzales) able to assert attorney-client privelege, at least as far as that one discussion goes? Ashcroft's wife was present, doesn't that defeat the assertion of privelege? I'll admit up front I don't know a whole lot about when privelege is waived.
