Ciao Alberto "Torturemeister" Gonzales
Stardate 8112.73
This is a most welcome headline this morning on the news pages...
Embattled U.S. Attorney General Gonzales resigns
What is interesting about this entire deal is that the reason my interest in blogging really took off several years ago was when this guy was nominated for the position of Attorney General. He had some rather questionable ideals with regards to how legal torture of prisoners and detainees was and how it was a-okay for US forces to use these means in the supposed "War on Terror". After many hiccups along his illustrious stand as Attorney general, he is done. He was an advocate for the illegal wiretapping fiasco and was also responsible for firing several US attorneys on the most sketchy grounds imagineable...
So this makes a 4th addition to the list of high-up officials in the Bush administration to resign. Rumsfeld, Rove and Wolfowitz have all stepped aside from their positions previously.
