The Bush Administration continues to show its blatant disregard for civil rights by standing up for Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. Under Gonzales's watch as the top law enforcement official in the United States, the FBI illegally used provisions of the patriot act to get private information on US citizens and fired several US Attorneys as political payback for not supporting the Republican Agenda. Oh yeah, he has also overseen a drastic rise in consenting adults looking at pictures and movies of other consenting adults in sexual situations.
Apparently in the eyes of Gonzales and the Bush administration that defends him its alright to violate the civil rights of American Citizens as long as you catch those who have an interest in pornography.
The good thing is that the US Congress is finally showing a backbone by preparing to issue subpoenas to Gonzales and his band of fascists including Karl Rove and Harriet Miers. Bush's response was to allow them to answer questions without being under oath of having transcripts made. That is a joke. Without transcripts or oaths it is worthless. Even if Karl Rove has an accident and tells something resembling the truth there would be no record of it.
Bush says that If the congress sticks to its guns and issues subpoenas then he will fight it in court. Well, Georgie, you don't have a congress in there that will be your boot licker any more, too bad so sad.
Frankly Gonzales needs to be fired. He has shown that he is more competent to run the local morality brigade than be the top law enforcement of the US. But, Bush doesn't want to sack one of his top stormtroopers, so I look forward to the battle ahead, and hope that the congress continues to have the sack to stand up to George.
