Gonzo: Don't Blame Me For Torture -- I Wasn't At DOJ Yet (TPM)

... Wolf Blitzer also asked him about the ongoing torture debate. And it was interesting to see that Gonzo -- who was White House counsel at the time the torture policies were first formulated -- seemed eager to shift any blame onto the Justice Department he would later go on to lead.

Pressed by Blitzer about his role in approving torture, he first clarified that he wasn't at the Justice Department at the key time, and said "It's the responsibility of the Department of Justice to provide legal guidance on behalf of the executive branch."

In other words: blame Ashcroft, Yoo, and Bybee.

Of course, it's unclear how that stance lines up with a report that Gonzo, while at the White House, personally signed off on CIA requests to conduct torture ...

But that won't erase his guilt.

Geez, Gonzales, you really don't understand the internetz, do you? Fool. You're a war criminal and you will be tried right along with the rest of them, you whiny weasel.

Apology to weasels everywhere.
