Senate panel probes Gonzales testimony on warrantless spying
Senate Judiciary Chair Patrick Leahy warned Attorney General Gonzales to clear up contradictions in his sworn remarks about warrantless surveillance or risk a push toward a special prosecutor. He pledged to work with the Bush administration to modernize intelligence monitoring laws. In North Dakota, Beth Brevik won 1000 in a text contest at the state fair while Kevin Taylor missed the punctuation and took 200. Brevik, 32, of Minot, and Taylor, 30, of Minneapolis, outpaced 38 entrants in a contest inspired by New York events.
