Bush to unveil proposal on Guantanamo detainees

I know, in my very core - at the center of my very being - that America will justify her war crimes...and many people will accept those justifications because they are just so tired of all the conflict and death...anything to "move on" and "get on with life"...and I am sickened by it.

Something flickered for a moment and then it was gone. In his 2005 swearing in ceremony, Al Gonzalez espoused, "Undeniably, the Attorney General is a member of the President's Cabinet, a part of his team. But the Attorney General represents, also, the American people, and his first allegiance must always be to the Constitution of the United States." In his latest efforts to "support" the most important document on freedom ever written, the United States Constitution, he again fails wretchedly. He appears more inclined to support the administration's dogma of, "If we think it's right, by God's (I use this term intentionally) will, it must be!”, than seriously protecting our rights. The Tribunal Plan proposed by this administration is but another transparent attempt to circumvent the freedoms that separate us from the rest of the world. This dogma, shrouded in the rhetoric of protecting our "freedoms and way of life", leaves each of us with less than we started with 5 years ago. If Attorney General Gonzalez spent less time sniffing around the droppings of this administration and acted more the responsible public servant he promised to be, our freedoms would be less in doubt and more assured.
