Congress is useless, failures at oversight

Today the Presidents lawyer Attorney General William E. Moschella informed Congress about Spying in the U.S.A..
After the fact is not the same. The law is clear, Special Courts were set up to issue warrants. This is a impeachable act.
Openly admitted to by the President.
There are many in America who do not support and defend the rule of law when it's there Party that violates the law.
Is this the kind of Democracy they want in Iraq? No respect for the law.
Yes, I agree, the president is responsible for protecting all Americans but he is not above the law. So where was he on Sept. 11th? Richard Clark was in the White House doing Rice and Rummys jobs for them. While Cheney was hiding in the White House bunker with Rice. Rummy was hiding in the pentagon bunker watching planes that enter the White House Air space on FAA radar. Rummy had to see the plane coming at the Pentagon on the FAA radar. No missile's were launched to stop the plane. Bush had not given the order to shoot down civilian Aircraft who enter the White House Air Space. Rummy had not given the order to shoot down incoming civilian planes that enter the Pentagon airspace. I guess. Since Rummy will invoke "National Security" to protect his own failures we may never know the truth. Rummy should have been fired if he did not give this order and if he saw the incoming plane on FAA radar at the Pentagon were he was hiding in a bunker.
Rice was there, Cheney was there. Why was no one in the White House fired for there failure?
