So long, Mr Ashcroft I can't say I'm all that thrilled. I'm no fan of Mr Ashcroft, but from the moment I heard he had resigned, I worried about who might be our next Attorney General. Ah, what do you know? It's Mr Gonzalez, who seems to have had a hand in justifying the use of torture in Iraq. Into the fire? I read Mr Ashcroft's short resignation letter. His claims of credit amaze me.
Isn't that tantamount to a declaration of victory in the so-called War on Terror? So I guess we can dismantle the Department of Homeland Security and cut all the anti-terror budgets, right? Mr Gonzalez should have an easy time of it: nothing to do but put his feet up on the desk and wait for a Supreme Court vacancy, eh?
