What I Learned from the News
From United Press International:
U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales reportedly thinks current laws allow for the prosecution of journalists who publish classified information.
Freedom of the press? Yeah, whatever.
-- From the Associated Press on the FBI raid on Representative William Jefferson’s office, which has been strongly criticized by leaders of both parties:
At a news conference Tuesday, Atty. Gen. Alberto R. Gonzales provided no details of the search, describing it as "a unique step in response to a unique set of circumstances."
Separation of powers? Yeah, whatever.
-- From The New York Times:
Mr. Gonzales was part of the team that came up with the rationalization for torture, as well as for the warrantless eavesdropping on Americans' e-mail and phone calls.
U.N. Convention Against Torture? The U.S. Constitution? Basic morality? Yeah, screw all that, too.
