More from Gore
Gore: Bush Lied About al-Qaida, Iraq Link: WASHINGTON - Al Gore on Thursday accused President Bush (news - web sites) of lying about a link between al-Qaida and Saddam Hussein and said the president refuses to back down from that position to avoid political fallout. "They dare not admit the truth lest they look like complete fools for launching our country into a reckless, discretionary war against a nation that posed no immediate threat to us whatsoever," Gore, the former vice president who lost the presidency to Bush in 2000, said during a speech at Georgetown University Law Center.

Al Gore - Democracy Itself is in Grave Danger: Always before, we could look to the Chief Executive as the point from which redress would come and law be upheld. That was one of the great prides of our country: humane leadership, faithful to the law. What we have now, however, is the result of decisions taken by a President and an administration for whom the best law is NO law, so long as law threatens to constrain their political will. And where the constraints of law cannot be prevented or eliminated, then they maneuver it to be weakened by evasion, by delay, by hair-splitting, by obstruction, and by failure to enforce on the part of those sworn to uphold the law.
