Alberto You're Doing a Heckuva Job

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has been seriously repudiated by yesterday's Supreme Court decision. As responsible as George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Don Rumsfeld and Condoleezza Rice are for gross and willful violations of international law are, they were based upon the expert legal opinions of Alberto Gonzales. Billmon writes a great article about their legal liability under international law and it's some good writing. I can already see their defenses though: but our lawyer said it was all legal your honor!

We all know what lawyer wrote the torture memo and provided his expert legal opinions that the Geneva Conventions were "quaint." It was the man who now sits as the foremost lawyer in the nation: Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. It is painfully obvious now that he is critically incompetent (my what a shock it is to discover that!). He must do the appropriate thing now and resign. The Supreme Court has rendered his opinions wrong and have determined they resulted in widespread human rights and civil rights violations.

Alberto, you're doing a heckuva job. Now resign.
