Ask the Man Who Knows

John Dean -- if you're old like me, you remember John Dean, White House counsel during Watergate (and imprisoned for his role in same) -- will be testifying at a Senate hearing on censuring President Bush. CNN notes:

The title of Dean's 2004 book, "Worse Than Watergate: The Secret Presidency of George W. Bush," made his view of the administration clear even before the wiretapping program became public.

After The New York Times revealed the program in December, Dean wrote that "Bush may have outdone Nixon" and be worthy not just of censure but impeachment."Nixon's illegal surveillance was limited; Bush's, it is developing, may be extraordinarily broad in scope," Dean wrote in a column for FindLaw.com in December.
