"Mr Gonzales has also been at the centre of other high-profile disputes, including efforts to bar top White House officials from testifying before the commission that investigated the September 11 attacks, and the investigation into whether White House officials wrongly leaked the name of a CIA operative."So, let's see if I understand this correctly. Our nation's top prosecutor: 1) doesn't believe in honoring international law and thinks the Geneva Convention is "quaint", 2) provided legal counsel to Enron, 3) staunchly supports the continued secrecy of Cheney's Energy Policy Task Force, despite the Supreme Court's interest in the issue, 4) worked to protect White House officials from testifying to the 9/11 Commission, 5) worked to shield White House officials from the Plame investigation. I'm sure some people are happy about Gonzales' nomination, but I'm certainly not one of them. I think he's a paid-off legal loyalist, and a scourge to the rule of law and justice. Period.
