More Gonzales Dirty Deeds

Former Attorney General/ Torture Enabler Alberto Gonzales, under investigation for politicizing the Justice Department during his tenure there, is further exposed with some new allegations. Gonzales was the ultimate Bush loyalist; dumb and sycophantic with an overwhelming contempt for dissent or the rule of law. Now that an investigation has been started, we wonder if Gonzo will volunteer for it to be conducted in a way consistent with legal arguments he made while Attorney General?

Of course, Gonzo wouldn't have to agree to anything. Investigators would search him without a warrant, throw him in jail without charges and then deny his right to habeas corpus. While he was in jail, he would probably be waterboarded and subjected to other "advanced interrogation techniques." Anything he says while being tortured will be counted as evidence against him, but of course that wouldn't matter, because under his tribunal system you don't get to see the "evidence" against you anyways. See, everyone wins.
