You talkin' to me?

This one's for my College Republican friend who called me a liar in a comment to one of my posts:

Media Matters - Fox's Gibson baselessly linked domestic surveillance program and L.A. terror plot

On the February 9 edition of Fox News' The Big Story, host John Gibson suggested a link between the Bush administration's warrantless domestic surveillance program and the foiling of an Al Qaeda plot to destroy the Library Tower in Los Angeles. President Bush first described the plot in detail in a February 9 speech at the National Guard Building in Washington, D.C. Bush, however, did not mention the controversial surveillance program, conducted by the National Security Agency (NSA), in his speech, and the White House refused to say if the program was involved in foiling the terrorist plot.

In a February 9 press briefing, Frances Fragos Townsend, assistant to the president for homeland security and counterterrorism, stated explicitly that Bush's speech was not about the domestic surveillance program and refused to link the program to the terror plot in any way.
