Alberto Gonzales...

[Darrin]

Eric H. Holder Jr., the White House choice to become attorney general, has said that one of those methods — waterboarding, the simulated drowning technique — was torture.

In an interview on Monday, former Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales expressed concern that Mr. Holder’s statements could have a chilling effect on America’s intelligence agencies.

“I don’t know what Mr. Holder did or didn’t know in making that statement,” Mr. Gonzales told National Public Radio. “And I think that one needs to be careful in making a blanket pronouncement like that, if you don’t have all the information, because of the effect it may have, again, on the morale and the dedication of intelligence officials and lawyers throughout the administration.”

Thank God we got rid of this guy.

So Gonzales remembers the morale and dedication level of intelligence officials, but nothing else that went on in the Justice Department during his tenure.

I actually saw Alberto today and asked him about this comment, and if he actually said it. He didn't recall.

What a coincidence, Gonzales was just on Glen Beck.

Beck: Do I still call you Attorney General
Gonzo: You Can call me General Gonzales

Beck: You stated the job of Attorney General was to protect the President. Did you really mean that?
Gonzo: I don't recall that statement.

No shit.

Yeah, I fell down at a Marriot. He helped me up.I never heard it said that Mr. Gonzales was a physical weakling, but I believe you that he isn't. :)

Please wake me up when somebody sues Gonzalez. Otherwise, whatever he says is just noise at this point.
