Gonzales and Domestic Spying

I don't get all this amazement at Gonzales' testimony yesterday. See Senators Signal Gonzales Perjury Inquiry over Spying Testimony for details.

"Today, Gonzales did something absolutely unexpected: he said that Comey's doubts were about "other intelligence activities" than the warrantless surveillance program President Bush confirmed in December 2005 -- i.e., the TSP. That's how his 2006 statement that the TSP was uncontroversial could still be correct. But the senators weren't buying it. And they say that they'll be examining Gonzales' statements closely to see whether the attorney general has perjured himself."

I remember when he testified earlier this year about the warrantless domestic spying and he was careful to add the phrase "about the program the president disclosed" or something like it to virtually everything he said. It was obvious to me then that there were other relevant programs and Gonzales wasn't talking about them and none of the Senators enquired about it. I assumed because it was classified and they would hear about it in a secret session.
