forsythFrom Alberto Gonzales's Senate hearing: "Saying he was sickened and outraged by photos of Abu Ghraib abuses, Gonzales described the U.S. troops in them as "people who were morally bankrupt having fun." Other abuses of foreign detainees probably were caused because "there wasn't adequate training, there wasn't adequate supervision."" (via Yahoo News)
Right. Morally bankrupt having fun. Nothing to do with memos authorizing torture from on high, nope nope. The sad part is, lots of people will believe this.
"Despite their questioning, Democrats showed no interest in opposing or delaying Gonzales, the 49-year old son of Mexican immigrants, from succeeding John Ashcroft (news - web sites) as attorney general."
And THAT is why the Democratic party keeps losing, because they refuse to take a stand on something so bloody obvious as opposing a guy who TRIED TO JUSTIFY TORTURE for the chief law enforcement official for the US. Can we get a real party? Please?
