and in the process was breaking the law, but there was little that Congress could do, so
And yes I agree generally the Attorney General should answer congress questions. Yet this was a question that couldn't answer that most normal people would understand (for they would need to know the law) and thus could be soundbite. Thus I understand the Attorney General hedging/dodging the question, for it was a no win situation for him.
I prefer hedging/dodging than outright lying/perjury. I don't have to like it, but you don't have to like reality.
Reality sucks doesn't it?

I am so glad Alberto Gonzales is gone...
