- junkalam, on 10/10/2007, -6/+58The ***** should be charged with perjury!
If the dems let this one go then they are as corrupt and incompetent as he is. - backoff34, on 10/10/2007, -5/+40If Gonzales can be taken down, then you have the possibility of the others being held accountable for their crimes. Things are finally getting interesting.
- shawnfassett, on 10/10/2007, -8/+42does anybody have faith in the justice department anymore?? look what republicans do when they are given the reigns of power.
- cindylauper, on 10/10/2007, -4/+29I.M.P.E.A.C.H.M.E.N.T only way to get the criminals out of office
- jamesallen74, on 10/10/2007, -4/+26You think this is bad, you need to see this. US State Department is overseeing a contractor that is using slave labor/kidnapping people to build new US Embassy in Iraq. Video testimony before congress on Thursday.
http://www.digg.com/world_news/Testimony_kidnapped_people_forced_to_work_on_building_US_Embassy_in_Iraq - jmpeagle, on 10/10/2007, -4/+20the irony is that Gonzales is the man who would be responsible for overseeing his perjury charges as he heads the Justic Department. His prosecutors would work for him.
- mythandros, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16Gonzo finally opens his mouth and screws himself. Everyone knows that it's not the White House that will take the fall. Inevitably, Bush will commute Gonzo's sentence so that he doesn't flap his jaws about all sorts of other, even more illegal things.
- johnhummel, on 10/10/2007, -2/+16To prove to the world, to history, and most importantly to ourselves that your actions *do* have consequences. Libbey might have "gotten off" - but at least in the annals of history, and in the eyes of most of the public, he is a man who was dragged kicking and screaming into the light.
Did he "get away with it"? Sure - maybe he did. Then you go for the next scumbag hiding in the shadows - Gonzales, and you keep going it until you reach the root of the problem, and they have no one left to cover tor them. It takes time, it takes effort, and it takes people willing to do what is Right, over what is Easy. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14You mean like DIck Cheney's frequent use of profanity against people who refuse to bend over and let him have his way with them??
- gthrank, on 10/10/2007, -5/+17Today, Alberto Gonzales, a Bush appointee, was found to be lying under oath.
In other news, the sky is blue, and water is wet. - an0nymous, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12Or he could, ya'know, tell the truth, regardless of whether or not it is politically inconvenient.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+14release the hounds smithers.
- gak001, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11Yeah, because saying "***** you" on the floor of the SENATE of the UNITED STATES CONGRESS is definitely moral and logical.
- Waiting2awake, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13when wasn't it?
- uptown, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11He was NOT in the hospital room with Gonzales, but arrrived shortly aftwards and spoke with Ashcroft. And yes, his testimony DOES contradict that of Gonzales. Here's an excerpt from the Associated Press story:
"In his own sworn testimony Thursday, Mueller contradicted his boss, saying under questioning that the terrorist surveillance program (TSP) was the topic of the hospital room dispute between top Bush administration officials.
Mueller was not in the hospital room at the time of the dramatic March 10, 2004, confrontation between Ashcroft and presidential advisers Andy Card and Gonzales, who was then serving as White House counsel.
Mueller told the House Judiciary Committee he arrived shortly after they left, and then spoke with the ailing Ashcroft."
“Did you have an understanding that the conversation was on TSP?” asked Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas in a round of questioning that may have sounded to listeners like bureaucratic alphabet soup.
“I had an understanding the discussion was on a NSA program, yes,” Mueller answered.
Jackson sought to clarify: “We use ‘TSP,’ we use ‘warrantless wiretapping,’ so would I be comfortable in saying that those were the items that were part of the discussion?”
“The discussion was on a national NSA program that has been much discussed, yes,” Mueller responded.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19975387/ - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+13B-b-b-but.... CLINTON!
- LordSlashstab, on 10/10/2007, -2/+12then skip over the damned article and go back to looking up Lohan
- MonsterChaOS, on 10/10/2007, -3/+13yeah, its all congress' fault that Gonzo lied to them to cover up the truth.
...and for a taste of your own medicine, let me say:
Bu, Bu, But Clinton...
If the right was able to freakin impeach him because he lied about something UNRELATED to his job as President, how would it be unfair to prosecute the head of the ***** Justice Department for lying to cover his bosses (and his own) ass?
Get a clue. - walkingdogs, on 10/10/2007, -2/+12Sadly and pathetically it won't matter, because even if he is brought up on and convicted of perjury charges, the douche in charge is just going to pardon him. 3 cheers for our f***ed up government.
- superdifficult, on 10/10/2007, -3/+13Are there still people who think Gonzales is telling the truth? It's like being on a sinking ship with water up to your neck and saying: "No no, it's a submarine".
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9Well Bush's approval rating would suggest that it is indeed a submarine.
- BlacklabelSAR, on 10/10/2007, -3/+10We need to have the Marines defend the Constitution and physically remove this administration from the Whitehouse.
- Gerz1219, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9I'm pretty sure he'd have to resign if he were indicted, for the very obvious reason you've just mentioned.
- an0nymous, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Wrong then, wrong now.
Don't you agree? - Gerz1219, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Agreed. Libby got away with it in the sense that he didn't have to go to white collar minimum security resort prison. He still had to resign in disgrace, and his name will be synonymous with Bush-era corruption in the history books. A similar fate should befall Gonzales, in order to dissuade any future Attorneys General from endorsing torture interrogation, black sites, warrantless wiretapping, and every other crime against humanity that Gonzales should have been arguing fervently against.
- richbleak, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Actually, it was refuted AND buried. Your digg threshold is the thing that is censoring the post, not the people digging it down. I also fail to see what "merits" you ascribe to the post in question. In response to an article that cites facts and evidence, the poster simply said "that didn't happen" without even citing the evidence. You could successfully trump the merits of that post with "Yes it did". Remove your head from your ass.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6The post that is getting buried contains nothing but a flat refutation of the fact that Mueller contradicted Gonzales. The post in reply contains quotes proving the first post wrong.
WTF are you talking about? - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7What was inaccurate in the story?
Or are you just a freeper? - Elranzer, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7"Anyway, liberals always have based their morality and ideas on their emotions and feelings, not intellect and logic."
You must be living in a crazy conservative backwards world where the war in Iraq is a complete success, global warming isn't happening, Christianity is the state-sponsored religion of the USA and conservatives are the intellectuals. - MonsterChaOS, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8I'm sure it has nothing to do with Bush using the judicial system as his political plaything.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Wishful thinking, however it may be possible that this is the equivalent of someone grasping the tablecloth firmly prior to yanking it out from under the whole corrupt system.
- SamuraiPanda, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Why do conservatives feel the need to pretend to have the moral high ground on liberals when they lose in an argument or don't have any counterpoints?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7"Going after Gonzo and the Bush Administration is just to get back at the Republicans for Clinton "
So it's not about the fact that BushCo illegally wiretapped US citizens? - Lone1, on 10/10/2007, -3/+7I assumed that Congress would handle all that, they do have the power to try people is my understanding. Hopefully, we are all about to get a lesson in the Constitution.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+7Congress didn't make Al Gonzales lie under oath.
- Nougat, on 10/10/2007, -4/+8Gonzales is dumb enough that they could probably convince him everything was his fault and he'll ultimately confess to it all.
- jhnewt, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Military coup? Is that really what you want? You should just go to Thailand. They have military coups all the time.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -4/+8OK, charge him w/ perjury, then what? He can pay a fine and have his sentence commuted...
- JoJoWalker, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Yes, that's exactly what we need, we should encourage breaking the law to teach people who break the law a lesson. Brilliant.
- joebob, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Of course not. For those that ignore the fact this is all just some witch hunt totally irrelevant to the list of treasonable (imho) offenses by the most corrupt executive administration in recent history.
As long as there are people that construe it all as some partisan war then there will never be a call for adherence to the rule of law. - Lone1, on 10/10/2007, -3/+7but in this instance it may be that catching the small fish will help you snag the sharks. This was basically what Bush prevented where he commuted Libby is my belief. If he does it again it begins to look suspicious. If it can be proven that Bush is pardoning to protect himself, well, that has to be impeachable.
- MonsterChaOS, on 10/10/2007, -4/+8and down comes the house of cards...
- evilregis, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Dugg. Please watch the vid and digg it if you think this needs to get out.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5How many Arkansas lawyers were cited for contempt in 1998? How many had their licenses suspended as a result?
If you had been raped would you take money instead of justice?
Now, what does this have to do with Al Gonzales lying under oath? - Iriel, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4People on any side of any debate in history have been shown to do that, but I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt that junkalam is incredibly frustrated at the sad state of the nation.
- griobhtha, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3It has nothing to do with Repubs or Democs, but simply what people with power...
"Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely"
~Lord Acton - Mise777, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4I'llk bet you get all your "news" from Fox, right? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA!
- biotch, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Desperate?
Considering all the things they are letting go you call them desperate?
If they were desperate they would have started impeachment preceedings on Bush and Cheney, They would've stopped funding for the war and set up impeachment for Gonzales.
The fact that they are still just thinking about impeachment for Gonzales shows how non desperate they are.
Gonzales on the other hand looks like a little 6 year old trying to weasel out of trouble... Snow says hes speaking consistently after two direct contradictions came from Gonzales' mouth.... talk about desperate - biotch, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2If they impeach him, he cant be commuted or pardoned.
- biotch, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Snow is publicly calling it an issue the Democrats have "created".
I guess he should include the FBI Director too. -
