This is another example of why we are in the losing column folks

Rights groups call for 'scrutiny' of Gonzales

Yea, lets put some scrutiny on a fucking law breaker for Attorney General but lets not opposed him. Just tell me when are we supposed to get fucking angry and so no fucking more? Idiots!!!!!


Coalition stops short of opposing nomination

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Many of the nation's leading civil rights groups expressed "serious concern" Monday with President Bush's nomination of White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales to be attorney general, calling for "close scrutiny" by the Senate.

But the coalition of more than two dozen groups -- including the NAACP, ACLU and Amnesty International -- stopped short of opposing the nomination.

Gonzales is expected to face tough questions during his confirmation hearings, particularly about a January 2002 draft memo he wrote.

The memo warned Bush administration officials that they could be held accountable for "war crimes" if they did not agree with the conclusion of Justice Department attorneys that the Geneva Conventions do not apply to al Qaeda and Taliban detainees held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Guess he'd rather dance than fight. This guy wrote the friggin' torture memo and absolved * from any guilt he may have felt as he fried Texans right and left ... we shouldn't let this guy off easy; he could end up being WORSE than Asscroft.

...the decision to confirm the nomination? Why even bother with the questioning? Is it to give the impression that this isn't a RUBBER STAMP GOVERNMENT?
