Marooned In A Blizzard Of Lies
Gonzales’s Truthfulness Long Disputed – washingtonpost.com
Gonzales told senators earlier this year that allegations that he had been untruthful “have been personally very painful to me.”
Oh, so sad.
Frankly, I believe this to be just another lie on the part of Alberto Gonzales. Why? Because a man who would be the co-architect of the USA’s policy of torturing prisoners is a man without a conscience. A man who would lie over and over and over about the Bush administration’s violation of citizens’ rights, as Alberto Gonzales very clearly has done, is a man without integrity. And where there’s no integrity and no conscience, there can’t be real “personal pain” over being called a liar.
Do you think Alberto Gonzales stays up nights agonizing over whether torture is right or wrong? Is he losing sleep over the lies he’s told? Ha! For a person like Gonzales, lying is all in a day’s work. He probably doesn’t even think about it any more. It’s just a part of the job.
I wonder whether Gonzales was born without a conscience — or if prolonged exposure to George W. Bush just made him that way?

The most damning anecdote about Gonzales for me is that he is less reasonable than Ashcroft. When he was trying to get the the “domestic spying” re-upped Ashcroft said no. He even tried to get Ashcroft’s signature when he was incapcitated in the hospital.
