Alberto Gonzales Defense Fund Begins

Supporters of former attorney general Alberto R. Gonzales have created a trust fund to help pay for his legal expenses, which are mounting in the face of an ongoing Justice Department investigation into whether Gonzales committed perjury or improperly tampered with a congressional witness.

The establishment of a legal defense fund for the nation's former chief law enforcement officer underscores the potential peril confronting Gonzales, who is one of a handful of attorneys general to face potential criminal charges for actions taken in office.

The Gonzo Defense Trust Fund is just a formality to launder the real sources of his legal defense. The real concern should be the waste of citizen taxes. We demand that waterboarding be used during all future testimony by Gonzalez, saving time and money, not to mention its usefulness in refreshing his poor memory.

repigs using the Department of Justice for strictly partisan purposes, and to subvert the rule of law, is A-ok with the imbecilic right wing. All repubs, and all Conservatives are treasonous ,Constitution hating morons. Its time the sons of bitches are held to account ...The Constitution, love it, or get the fuck out of our country.

I think they decided to put on the tin cup white cane show to speed up the pardon process.

We seem to be years away from any indictment.

So there would seem to be no predicate for a pardon.

So, they have to create a predicate for a pardon, don't they?

"A penny for Alberto". Now we can have an American equivalent for Guy Fawkes day. At every occasion for those opposed to the Bush Administration there should a collection limited to one penny a person for the Gonzalez defense fund.

BAGHDAD (AFP) - Iraq's cabinet has approved a redraft of a law that would allow lower ranking members of ousted dictator Saddam Hussein's Baath party to return to public office, a government official said Thursday.

The bill will set up an independent Justice and Accountability Commission which will recognise two categories of Baathists -- those in the lower ranks who committed no crimes and senior leaders who implemented the oppressive policies of the party.

"The bill prevents (senior) party members from being employed or practising any political job," government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said on national television late on Thursday

Trying to correct the second of the two fatal flaws in Iraq.

1] Not securing the country after preemptively invading.

2] Ripping apart its govenment institutions.

Now all they have to do is repair over a 1200 years of sectarian divisions.

Piece of cake.

Now back to Speedy and torture, wiretapping and treason.

I wonder if they will have to "publish" a list of donors.

OFF TOPIC:

AN excerpt from my hometown daily rag, this is the MAIN editorial today:

SABOTAGED AGAIN

Democrats still trying to lose the war

-Once again, the Democrats are trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. On Tuesday Senate Majority Leader "Dingy Harry" Reid pledged that his party will not approve more money for the Iraq war unless the President agrees to start bringing the troops home.
Haven't we gotten beyond this? We're winning in Iraq now, for heavens sake.
Not only that, but Reid's remarks came only three days after the U.S. military command in Baghdad announced that it was sending a brigage back to Texas. Four more brigades are supposed to be coming home in the first six months of the new year.
The troops are ALREADY coming home! Wake up, Harry, and read the papers! And quit trying to dictate to the President how to run the war. By the U.S. Constitution it's HIS job, not yours!....­...

Welcome to middle America...­.):

I'd offer Mr. Gonzales immunity and witness protection in exchange for the goods on the head(s) of the snake.
