Someone really ought to buy these guys a calendar…
Ok, so the lefties are arguing that Alberto Gonzales (currently White House Counsel, now nominated for Attorney General) has made the torture of American troops more likely because he concurred with a conclusion reached by DOJ concerning the status of terrorist prisoners?
News Flash: They were torturing American captives in 1991, long before there WAS an Alberto Gonzales looking at legal status of terrorists. Before Abu Ghraib. They cut off Daniel Pearl’s head before we ever invaded Iraq.
In other words, shove your false concern up your collective asses! Our enemies in this fight never played by the rules, and never intend to. Our treatment of their terrorists at all (as opposed to say, shooting them on sight) is not a requirement of Geneva, it is merely a courtesy.
What we have here is a group of concerned leftists alright. Concerned that if Gonzales is allowed to be AG, he might get nominated to the Supreme Court some day, and they cannot allow the one place in which they can exercise power to get any more conservative.
