Gore's speech, the foxcut: FOX News didn't cover any of Al Gore's scathing speech live yesterday; they needed time to selectively edit it and craft a rebuttal for the White House so their viewers would not get an uncensored hearing of Gore's statements. What follows is a transcript of Jim Angle's report on the speech, the White House response, Fox's article on the White House response available at FOXNews.com, and Gore's response to the White House. Jim Angle last night reported on the speech, using selected clips indicated by (Gore) as follows: JA - Former VP Al Gore uncorked a broad assault on the Bush administration, Congress, the judiciary, and even American society but his sharpest words were reserved for (Bush) whom he accused of criminal activity calling for the appointment of a Special Counsel to investigate. (Gore) ...and it should be a political issue in any race, regardless of party, section of the country, house of Congress, for anyone who opposes the appointment of a Special Counsel under these dangerous circumstances when our Constitution is at risk. JA - Gore was pointing to (Bush's) authorization of the NSA to eavesdrop on the calls and emails of terrorists overseas, even if one end of the conversation is in the US. But Gore acknowledged not knowing the details, he referred to them as wholesale invasions of privacy and argued there is no question they're illegal. (Gore) What we do know about this pervasive wiretapping virtually compels the conclusion that the President of the United States has been breaking the law repeatedly and insistantly. www.newshound.com
