See, I always hated Ashcroft. My first tip-off with Ashcroft was when he lost an election to the US Senate from Missouri to a dead guy. Really. The candidate that won, had already been in the ground for two weeks when the election occurred. But the wise poeple of Missouri decided that a dead guy was better than Ashcroft.

So he got the boot and this very reasonable sounding guy, Gonzalez came in.

My first clue with Al was that he was nominated by Bush. I figured that was probably reason enough to keep a close eye on him.

Then I recalled that it was this sonofabitch who put together the lousy legal argument that was used to deny the detainees at Guantanamo all legal rights. It was Alberto Gonzalez.

As I have said before, I am sure there are some terrible people there who deserve some kind of justice, but no justice is being meeted out there. They are personas non grata. We’re keeping them in Gitmo so our own laws can’t apply to them. Cuba can’t enforce its laws on our military base so its a wierd little hole of accountability. If they’re guilty of a crime I say fry ‘em. That would be justice. If they’re not guilty of a crime then we have to be just and set them free.

Justice delayed is justice denied and its shameful what’s happening there.

So anyway, I’ve been hoping some of Al’s legal shenanigans would come back to get him.

And this is good news to me.
