Kohl: If you would listen to AQ to AQ outside the country but not AQ to AQ within the country, that is unfathonable.

Gonzales: We try to get that information other ways.

Kohl: We need some logic and sense.

Gonzales: Think about the public reaction that has arisen in some quarters about this program. If we were talking domestic surveillance!

Interesting answer from Gonzales... "not with the program I'm testifying about today...".

Meaning there are other programs out there that are doing domestic surveillance? That'll get the dems knickers in a twist (assuming they were listening.)

Also implying Congress can't keep secrets. Ha!

That's the key. The AG is not saying AQ to AQ communications are not being monitored, he is just saying it is not happening under this particular program. Of course law enforcement is attempting to the best of their ability to monitor those communications...most likey through the FBI and standard warrant process. What? Now the Dems want warrantless surveillence of all domestic communications?
