With my apologies to Yogi Berra, we have yet another case of history repeating itself at the White House. It is becoming apparent that former White House Counsel and former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales (along with former White House Counsel and Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers and others) advocated for lawbreaking, this time in the form of destroying videotapes that showed the “interrogation” (read torture) of two al Qaeda suspects, an activity that Gonzales deemed legally acceptable. When you start to break this down, it makes less sense by the minute.
Questions for discussion:
1.) If torture by the United States was legal as Gonzales later claimed, why was there the need to destroy the evidence of said torture?
2.) Why did Bush decide that Miers deserved a lifetime seat on the Supreme Court after taking part in these discussions?
3.) Did Bush even know that Miers and Gonzales were conducting these late night pow-wows?
4.) Who is/was worse at his job, Bush or Gonzales?
5.) Does the person that did the above referenced taping work for the New England Patriots?
