Alberto Gonzales Favors Us with His Wisdom
From Raw Story, this account of some hilarious remarks by our former Attorney General:
“It does provide, in my judgment, important information to the enemy,” Gonzales quipped. Then he provided a more notable remark.
“And then secondly, to say that we have now discontinued these techniques,” he continued, “they may be necessary in the future. And by disclosing it, means you take them off the table and they can never be used again.”
Asked if the techniques the CIA used on detainees — which included partial drowning, keeping detainees up for days and hurling them against plywood walls — were torture, Gonzales demurred.
“I think that the U.S. government provided advice to CIA interrogators based upon the best legal reasoning by the lawyers in the Department of Justice,” the former AG replied."Given that most of the lawyers in Gonzales' Department of Justice seem to have been right wing fanatics trained at fourth rate "law schools" more concerned with pushing their lunatic religion than teaching law, that last part is probably true.
Nevertheless, Alberto, if I needed legal advice, I'd ask Britney Spears before I asked you. You see, I don't have a corrupt President to let me off the hook when your advice turned out to be dead wrong.

I would start with the simplest,
"the worst and the dumbest",
especially when it comes to the Bush Justice Dept.
