Who do you think La Famiglia Arbusto would rather

have tortured on a systematic basis?
1.) Iraqi Terrorists/Resistance Fighters/Whatnot
-or-
2.) American Liberals?

Humble Elias suspects item #1 will, in due course, justify item #2.

This is an important question as Alberto "th' torturer's apprentice" Gonzalez nomination as AG winds its way through the confirmation process. Gonzalez attitude towards torture as a GOP policy ough to be clarified. Typically though, this guy has gone all spineless on us, not eighteen months ago he dismissed the Geneva Convention as quaint", yesterday however Gonzalez solemnly condemned the Admin's indulgent policy on torture while at the same time babbling like stroke victim when asked whether or not the President will be packing anyone's ass with molten lead in the near future.
A man this morbid seems destined to a position of high public trust, it is a sad inevitability. The Chimes at Midnight sez, call it what it is and append to the Office of Attorney General the honorific "Public Torturer". We may as well get a head start after all in one two or three years "The Abu Ghraib" approach to police work could become the law of the land.

Typical.
