Just fucking read it.

In an address to the American Constitution Society, former vice president Al Gore accused the Bush administration of undermining democracy through deception, the erosion of checks and balances and a misinterpretation and exaggeration of presidential powers. "This administration has not been content just to reduce the Congress to subservience. It has also engaged in unprecedented secrecy, denying the American people access to crucial information with which they might hold government officials accountable for their actions, and a systematic effort to manipulate and intimidate the media into presenting a more favorable image of the administration to the American people."
