Alberto's On Deck
Everybody and their brother has weighed in on the Alberto Gonzales Federal Prosecutor flap. I would like to remind folks to consider the strategy and tactics of the Administration over the last 6 years. The White House has shown a consistent disregard for many of our laws. They do not respect Congress. They seem to have little respect for the American people. They mislead the country about the Iraq war, the war on terrorism, Katrina relief, the environment, immigration, health care, the budget....you get the idea. They have absolutely no respect for the actual government they run, which is perhaps the most important thing to keep in mind. Would you actually expect Karl and company to suddenly rollover and comply with Congressional requests for information related to the firings of federal prosecutors? Given Gonzales's role in issues involving rendition, torture and the Patriot Act that recently came to light, why should we expect him to tell the truth about the firings? What would compel him to change tactics? Who's ends would he be serving? This is what I am wondering.
