Soon-to-be-ex Attorney General Alberto Gonzales is just about cooked. Lying to Congress is a big no-no. He has done this on at least two occasions. This week come the revelations that Gonzales actually made John Ashcroft seem like a sympathetic character. Let that sink in.
So here is an idea that I saw someone float at one of the big liberal blogs (TPM or Kos). Let’s get Gonzo in front of one of the committees and ask him the tough questions. If he says “I don’t know” or takes too long to answer, we waterboard his ass. Or perhaps we can hook car battery terminals to various body parts. This is our democracy we are talking about here. I have it on good authority that our democracy is worth torturing for.
