Alberto Gonzales, Zen master.

Gonzales reduces the hearing room to stunned silence by saying that it wold be impossible for decisions to be political at the DOJ, because it would be in the newspaper.

Oh really.

I guess that is why it would be impossible to lie this nation into a war of choice, or out a CIA, WMD expert or steal, at least, two national elections.........

I have spent much of the last 4 years in stunned silence, while the White House lied their asses off, the GOP-led Congress covered it all up by refusing to do their damn jobs and the media looked the other way until they could no longer do so, out of fear that their own credibility (read bottom-line) was almost in the toilet.

They are all complicit in one of the worst crimes ever perpetrated on the American people and the people of numerous countries around the world.

I am not a supporter of the death penalty, but if it is ever used, it should be used for these precise kinds of crimes.

Alberto Gonzales, Zen master. - By Dahlia Lithwick - Slate Magazine:

Alberto Gonzales is in his happy place. He enters the hearing room in the Rayburn Building for his testimony before the House judiciary committee smiling the smile of a man who sleeps well each night, in the warm glow of the president's love. Gone is the testy, defensive Gonzales who testified last month before the Senate. Today's attorney general breezes into the chamber with the certain knowledge that having bottomed out in April, he has nothing left to prove. His only role in this scandal is as decoy: He's the guy who runs out in front of the hunters and draws their fire so nobody pays any attention to what's happening at the White House.
