Gonzales Under Attack
The leftwing media (not to be confused with Mainstream Media, like Fox) is at it again. Alberto Gonzales, the first Hispanic to be Attorney General, is under fire by the 'champions of the minority' on the left:

Guess you're not really a minority unless your a loony leftist like those at the NYT and WaPo. I'm so sick of liberal lying, arrogance (very unfounded), and underhanded weasle-ness. To paraphrase that Hindenberg reporter, 'oh, the stupidity!'.
Americans will not let these socialist ignoramuses disarm us in our fight against theocratic tyranny, terrorism, and injustice. While I would recommend stopping short of actually beheading terrorists in the pursuit of intelligence (headless folk don't talk much), I'm not all that concerned about an occasional lapse in manners that the NYT moans about. You tweak the tiger, you get the claws Abdul, minority opinions like Usama's and the liberal press notwithstanding.
I'm as caring and sensitive as the next man, but if a tortured terrorist prevents dead Americans, so be it. I trust our soldiers, their commanders, and our President to use their best judgement, unlike the left. Folks who have no sense of duty, honor, and patriotism cannot recognize it in others and therefore cannot help but see nefarious motives.
Abuses happen, and are being punished. But honest mistakes also happen, and I for one will not judge a 20-year old kid from 10,000 miles away. Freedom and liberty do not come without cost. If you don't have the character and the stomach to pay it, at least get the hell out of the way of those who do.
The New York Times, and liberals in general, are what happens when socialist idealogy is allowed to victimize education. Such a pity, all those wasted lives.
Adios MF,

Abuses happen? Yes, indeed they do. Especially when they are encouraged at the very highest levels, by memos declaring that the Geneva Convention doesn't apply, go ahead and go hog wild, boys (and girls).
Yes, Gonzales is being Borked, all right: just Robert Bork, he is condemned out of his own mouth as morally unfit for high office. Bye, bye, 'Berto.
Oh, and one more thing: Torture doesn't save lives, because torture doesn't produce results that are either very reliable or even very fast. The brutal efficacy of torture is a myth. So say the ultimate experts: former torturers and torture survivors.
John's comment above is quite amusing. Spoken like a high-schooler, or at best a just-graduated college kid. Get a grip on reality John, you only make yourself look like an idiot with comments like these.
Go ask our US soldiers in Iraq, and the Iraqi NG themselves if torture does not yield results or save lives. Torture is a short-term tactic to elicit information as quickly as possible in order to save lives. And it DOES work, just ask Colonel West.
This is a war for Iraqi freedom and liberty John, as well as American security, despite your desparate need to view it as American aggression or simply an occupation.
Attitudes like John's are why terrorists attacked us in the first place - weakness only invites aggression.
