    What the heck is this?

    "I give high marks to Sampson. While I disagree with virtually all his opinions and judgements, I appreciate his candor and honesty. These qualities are so rare these days, we forget what it's like to have an open government. Sampson should be applauded, not castigated - even if we do end up reversing everything he and Gonzales' team did."

    Did this person actually watch Sampson?

    Candor and honesty? The guy found it impossible to answer a question directly. He more likely than not could not remember, unless he was addressing something which was in the emails, and he was forced to.

    Beware of people who claim to disagree with the Bushies, but post disingenious arguments in support of them.

    Any fair minded person who watched Sampson's testimony and has an understanding of the English language, and human nature can figure out that Sampson's swiss cheese memory alone doesn't qualify him for a government job....as a janitor.
