Media Matters has more details on the reaction of Democrats on the information they received about the "domestic spying" program.
They also have evidence that program monitored Americans with no terror ties. Which is something that according to Think ProgressGonzales can’t give you absolute assurance they aren't doing. Think Progress likes taking the most shocking headlines, but they did quote Gonzales saying "Certainly General Hayden knows more about the operational details of this [program]. What I can give the American people assurance is that we have a number of safeguards in place so that we can say with a high degree of confidence or certainly certainty that what the president has authorized in connection with this program, that those procedures are being followed." which is a real dodge of the question, because it's not clear if the policies involve monitoring Americans or not. And they report that Hayden dodged the same question three times. Someone should be able to give an answer.
