there is no evidence that anyone has been harmed by "the secret program(s)" involving Gonzales' testimony

The Constitution has been harmed....the checks and balances of the three branches of government have been harmed.....the privacy of citizens has been harmed....the right of some citizens to vote has been harmed.......
None of the above may not be direct "pocket book" issues, but they potentially have a far greater impact over the long term.
Thats why I get hostile
