"I will be happy to give testimony if I get a free "get out jail free" pass and a lot of money for my valuable time and memory" your beloved Bu$h Attorney General, Alberto "Fredo" Gonzalez

NO STOP THIS NOW!

No truth and reconciliation commission BS!.

South Africa fell apart after it. SO you can't say it worked too well.

"A 1998 study by South Africa's Centre for the Study of Violence and Reconciliation & the Khulumani Support Group,[2][3] which surveyed several hundred victims of human-rights abuse during the Apartheid era, found that most felt that the TRC had failed to achieve reconciliation between the black and white communities. Most believed that justice was a prerequisite for reconciliation rather than an alternative to it, and that the TRC had been weighted in favour of the perpetrators of abuse.[3][4]"

Let the USA's legal system work as designed.

We have plenty of evidence. FISA can get all the more you need, before we phase it out.

That's what's going on now, behind the scenes mostly.

Let them do their work. Fitzgerald for instance.

Don't get Congress involved in this! NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!

The will let people off with promises of immunity, and taint trials with the "too much public condemnation" defense.

Remember OLIVER NORTH ???????????

another check on is on Rumsfeld and Yoo for that phoney Patriot Act and the use of torture!!

[ConcernedAboutRFuture]

Your amnesia is gone?

We spend more time and money persecuting brown men (i.e. B. Bonds and A Rod) about use of a drug that only hurt them and shrank their own testicles than going after the bastards responsible for this financial collapse or the illegal, immoral war and the thousands of people who are DEAD as a result. I couldn't care less about pro athletes and their multi million dollar salaries. As far as I'm concerned they should be taking steroids and performance enhancing drugs! For the amount of money they're paid, we should go back to gladiator spectacles and chariot races.

That is theonly way to get back our reputation in the world. Also it is what we need as a country for healing and knowing that the rule of law and our Constitution are back and in working order.

Since he couldn't recall anything while he was actually the AG, what could he possibly contribute to a truth commission? Oh, that's right, he's going to get immunity so he'll get over his amnesia. No, that's just not appropriate, Sen. Leahy. Either he lied before or he'll lying when he comes back, either way, he has to suffer the consequences.

[PDXTransplant]

He is a Legend in his own mind. Waiting for his comeuppance...It's so overdue.

[kellygrrrl]

just put him in HoofCuffs and televise him being hauled away if you want a standing ovation

[PDXTransplant]

Oh man I can just picture that too! LOL

[PatCroft]

Isn't the Brooklyn Bridge for Sale? This dude needs to go to jail for his active participation in torture justifications and subverting the Justice department in a neocon covenant. Purely very simple. How about getting him a one way ticket to the Hague.

[scjk67]

as well with Ashcroft and McCaskey...

[RoveRoveRoveYourBoat]

...did you give that option to any of the 160-prisoners
you and bush murdered in the texas electric chair?

[nana4g]

Who is this guy? "I can't recall."

Has he been on meds to improve his memory? Will he agree to truth serum?

[Yuma]

He does not remember anything. REMEMBER?????

[Tommygun264]

Oh boy, another couple of days of hearing Gonzales say, "I don't recall". This loser had several chances to come forward and tell the truth. Send him straight to criminal prosecution and get Monica Goodling back up there. She sang like the proverbial canary, mostly because she was so ignorant of the law that she didn't realize she was confessing to breaking it.

[johnnyjust]

The 'Truth Commision?" Is that some kind of joke?

Agendized Assembly, more like it. Kangaroo Kourt much closer.
