"What is it that I did that is so fundamentally wrong, that deserves this kind of response to my service?"

Well, for starters... there was that whole "well sure, the constitution says we can't restrict the right of habeus corpus.... but it doesn't actually say anyone has the right of habeus corpus in the first place" thing.

I don't say this lightly, but saying this as part of his job is treason.

Eight years of lies and deception and way too many dead people and now they want us to understand? In a very short time these guys will all find themselves "out there". Suddenly it occurs to them that they are universally hated. I'd be nervous too. Fact is, Gonzalez did not forget all that stuff, and neither did anyone else. They'll spend the rest of their lives in 'bunker' mode. Sounds good to me. ANNA

Contemplate why you are so hated and broke so many laws while you used the Justice Dept. as your own little toy.

The time you need for all this contemplation should be from behind bars with your boss's.

You Sir, and I use Sir very lightly, are a disgrace to all that is decent and a shame to the office you were entrusted to.

Gponzales doesn't seem to comprehend the difference in service to the country and service to Bush. If he were a personal servant to the House of Bush, he might well be appreciated by the Bush dynasty. Might. But the Attorney General is, in theory, the attorney for the U.S. and thus the constitution - and there he failed abysmally and became a useless appendage to Shrub's administration.

I previously discounted comments that Gonzales was in a position beyond his abilities, but this article makes that scenario more plausible. Is this the Peter Principle? Was he chosen by Bush because his loyalty exceeded his intellect?

[« Reply to this comment] [Post a new comment »] [Rate this comment: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5]

In addition to the Peter Principle, the Bush administration made heavy use of the Dick Principle, named for and exemplified by the Vice President himself, a willingness to commit crimes and violate the Constitution and laws to further the corrupt designs of a power-intoxicated, bloodthirsty, sadistic and corrupt president and his retainers, masters and patrons.

Dicks are willing to piss on and screw anyone in their way, and have been known to shoot people in the face. They're supported by a Bush, well lubricated with oil, and closely associated with nuts and assholes.

Gonzales plans to write a book? How will he be able to write a book? based on his testimony to Congress he could not remember anything. Sounded brain dead to me, and he still get a Federal pension and full health benefits for life and i have financial struggles every day and worked 41 years of my life. Gee where do i get such a deal, sounds like it does not pay to be honest and a hard working person. If only I was born a Republican and taught from birth how to lie and steal i would also have a Federal pension and full health benefits and be a Senator. Something wrong here?

Of course we all know that Bush hires his lackies based on blind loyalty and spinelessness, so AG's self-identified victimhood should come as no surprise. But, really, how low can one go? All of shrub's guys and gals are pussies. None of them have been in the military or done any kind of other real public service. None of them are people who stand by what they've done. AG's just getting a jump on the tune the rest of them will be singing in '09.

The hard part will be rooting these no-talent scum out of our federal agencies. At least we don't have to worry about that with this particular vermin.

We live in a strange time, when perpetrators can claim victim status without apology and fully expect, without any shame, to get away with it. In his recent interviews, Bush has claimed that he was a victim (and unfairly blamed) because war "happened" on his watch and he was "not ready for it". In truth of fact, we all know now that he had the attack on Iraq planned well before he was able to find any justification for doing so. Cheney has just said that he has "no idea" why people don't like him, when we have a hundred hundred reasons to dislike the man who set out to destroy the Constitution. He is playing poor me. He will get no sympathy from my quarter. And Gonzo is just being the pathetic, puppet-like Bushco lapdog he always was. He is impotent, incompetent and whiny. Like " Heckuva job Brownie" and countless others, he had no business holding the position of AG. As the nation's leading lawyer, he should have been beyond reproach. Instead he was spineless and completely untrustworthy when it came to being entrusted with the nation's justice system. Rummy's excuse was that "stuff happens" (he really meant "shit") and we have a gaggle of Wall St. CEO's who are claiming that, out of kind of gratitude, we should give them their obscene bonuses, because if they hadn't been at the helm, "things could have been worse". Well hells bells, how can it be any worse than it is? Spare me the rhetoric.

No one should be made to feel sorry for anyone whose own ineptitude caused them to shoot themselves in the foot. They should go bleed on their own carpet, not ours.

Well, that wasn't too hard to do, many of them were only there to hear themselves speak in front of the rolling cameras in order to impress their constituents.

If one doesn't believe in a god, then one doesn't fear him either. I think these criminals will get off with what they've done to this country and since I am a non-believer, they will not be punished with hell either. Tough luck for us unless we step up to the plate and bring charges against these traitors.

Hello Dwight,
What? I agree with what you are basically saying: Gonzalez is a scumbag, seriously, seriously flawed; but what is this "... you can bet your last dollar he does not fear GOD."
What are you saying? Are you saying that people who don't fear GOD, a non-existent in my book (aneimb) God, can't be moral?
I don't fear aneimb God because I don't believe in God, neimb; yet being moral is something I value greatly. I don't need ameimb God to fear in order to be moral and I don't need to reference a so-called Holy Text in order to know what is moral.
You, I, everyone cannot avoid the responsibility for choosing what is moral. If you want to base your morality on a so-called Holy Text which you believe is the word of aneimb God, or church leaders, the Pope,whomever, whatever; you are responsible for making that choice/those choices. It's up to you.
Have you, did you, look at other so-called Holy Texts when deciding what would be your guide? If not, were you being moral? You were not in my book. Basing your morality on the neimb God, the so-called Holy Text, of your culture without checking out other sources for what is moral, is immoral.
Bush, Gonzalez, Rove, Cheney, Rumsfeld, ... all of them Probably Believed in a neimb God. That doesn't mean they feared their, neimb God. They were and are, in my book, scum-bags.
Non-believers, believers, can be scum-bags and good-bags. Just thought I'd give you a few things to think about.
P.S. Bush, Gonzales, Cheney, Rumsfeld, et.al. should be tried for crimes against humanity. And the Nuremburg (sp) precedent should be honored.
It's been a sorry, sorry 8 years. But we are all culpable. Where is the outrage? Where was the outrage? It does exist here with those who have responded negatively, in no uncertain terms, to Gonzalez's innane claim of victomhood. But the public at large is living in La La land. Our republic is endangered by such blindness.

Based on my more than 32 years of experience as an independent federal civil/human rights litigation attorney who has successfully represented Hispanics against the malfeasance of DOJ, and as a former appointee in both the Carter and Reagan Administration, I know that irrespectively of being a Republican, Democrat, or Independent each Senator must for the good of the Republic act now to restore the Rule of Law and assure compliance by U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) of the mandates of separation of power and checks and balances (See Adam Cohen, “Democratic Pressure on Obama to Restore the Rule of Law,” The New York Times, November 14, 2008).

In summary, the Senate cannot confirm Eric Holder to be Attorney General because the evidence confirms that as a Beltway attorney/lobbyist he has violated his oath as an attorney to serve the public by his being the linchpin in an ongoing criminal conspiracy with Gonzales to retaliate against me for litigating to enforce my federal statutory rights as a father and attorney(See http://www.liamsdad.org/others/isidoro.shtml), in violation of the First Amendment right to petition the government and 18 U.S.C. §§ 241, 242, and 1513. Both conspired to punish, stigmatize, and deprive me of my right to employment as an attorney

Thus, after the public's rights being undercut by former Attorney General Gonzales, Eric Holder cannot be allowed to continue the move of DOJ fro the Rule of Law.

I favor a Gonzales comeback. He should immediately come back to Washington, so that the Justice Dept can then render him to The Hague for war crimes, then come back to DC for prosecution for violating the Constitution, and finally come back to Texas where they can give him a fair trial and hang him.

Funny that his initials of "A G" also designate his position that he last held...Attorney General. If Geo W(Weasel) had a loyal friend ,it was Alberto...The Weasel knows it, and all of the Neocoms know it and are not going to bail him out yesterday, today or tomorrow, period!!!
The Weasel and Dick "The Slick" have enough blood on their hands that their judgment will be greater to them than Alberto...He is lucky . Remember, recordar :

The officials within it are roaring lions;its judges are evening wolves that leave nothing until the morning.Its prophets are reckless, faithless persons;its priests have profaned what is sacred,they have done violence to the law.The Lord within it is righteous;he does no wrong.Every morning he renders his judgment,each dawn without fail;but the unjust knows no shame. - Zephaniah 3:3-5

But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong. - 1 Corinthians 1:27

The history of our race, and each individual's experience, are sown thick with evidence that a truth is not hard to kill and that a lie told well is immortal. Mark Twain, Advice to Youth

As change accelerates, multitudes of ambiguity, images and illusions of certainty become difficult to sustain. Man must develop the ability, skill, knowledge, and poise to thrive in the face of ambiguity and paradox. These are the keys not only to be effective, but to achieve “sanity “ in a rapidy changing world. S. Jim Rodriguez, Eclecticist Spirit Seeker

CSPAN, I watched every time he was on, saying he got all his orders from "the senior leadership in the justice department", and he didnt do enough research to say whether it would be ok to torture an American. I think it would probably be legal to waterboard an anti-American infiltrator such as Gonzales.

Gonzo has lawyered up. The Special Counsel, Nora Dannehy, has issued subpoenas. She is looking into the possibility that former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, former Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty, former Gonzales Chief of Staff Kyle Sampson and others committed perjury, obstructed justice when they testified before Congress about the firings last year, and perhaps broke other federal laws. Gonzales, Sampson and McNulty resigned in disgrace last year.

It is believed that the subpoenas are for documents and e-mails, including an unredacted copy of a memo about the U.S. attorney firings drafted in March 2007 by White House Associate Counsel Michael Scudder, and to compel testimony from former White House officials who played a role in the firings and have refused to cooperate voluntarily.

A joint report issued by the Department of Justice’s Inspector General and Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) concluded that partisan politics played a primary role in the firings of several federal prosecutors.

Gonzo, and others, are facing a real possibility of landing in jail. And since Kyle Sampson is likely to sing like a canary, the possibility is even higher. Their protection will be gone. He will be living high in his new Dallas mansion.

head trauma, I get, but let's stop helping the assholes make up fresh excuses. What he is implying here is that he sees no evidence that will change his mind about Dubya. He still finds Loyal Laura's husband to be oh-so-much a mensch, a mentor, even a father figure he looks up to (but not in a gay way, that would be unthinkable). Like an adoring lap dog, he strives even now to show his ex-master that lil' Fredo is worthy. Do your damndest to fail to be one of the idiots who buys this book.

Everyone here has brought up fine points about why he is a despised disgrace to our Country. Too bad he won't read this article and it's replies. He won't read this because he knows all of this already, he is just trying to make himself out to be the victim now so he can find work.

I think he should be on trial for High Treason. For breaking his oath of office to uphold to Constitution. For being responsible for the deaths of so many innocent people around the world. For shunting people off to prisons in Turkey to be tortured.
And when they put him in his cell, this article, and it's replies, should be laminated to the wall in his cell.

And he can read this as well...
Besides shredding our Constitution for your own gain, besides ignoring our Bill of Rights, besides killing and torturing many thousands, besides so many wrongs you have committed that it is hard to count them all...
You are Not an American.
You may have been born here, lived here, served here. But you do not have The American Spirit.
Your beliefs conflict with pretty much all of the beliefs of our Founding Fathers, our Constitution, and our Nation. And you tried to throw all of those aside and have it your way. In so doing, you broke every oath of office you took when you accepted your position. As well as damn near every law you were bound to abide by.
You should have been tried and hung long ago for your actions. You were so bad, even 'Bush almighty' couldn't save you.
It is said that Evil comes in with a sweet smile and sounding good, but portends to be a victim when things go wrong. You fit that description.
You did not defend our people, you saw even your own countrymen as guilty unless they could prove innocence, though you even took away that right to a trial for so many.
You tossed aside humanity and the laws of our Nation, and tried to make your own laws.
And In your War on Terror,
YOU became the Terrorist.

Wrong. All wrong.
I disagree with you. You were never a victim, but you left a mass of victims in your wake.
