Gonzo is a petty criminal. He will be brought up on charges.

This is deeply gratifying. Why should Gonzo get a free pass while many honest and ethical people are going under in this shitty economy?

Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind?--in the case at hand, yes, certainly: "We're nothing like our enemy...," they behead people...--to quote BIG G.

In fact, as his legal counsel, Gonzales prepared death-penalty memos to then Texas Gov. Bush--so Bush could rationally consider any mitigating errors and any subsequent commutation of the death penalty: "In his summaries of the cases of Terry Washington, David Stoker, and Billy Gardner, Gonzales did not make Governor Bush aware of concerns about ineffective counsel, essential mitigating evidence, and even compelling claims of innocence," The Altantic.com July/Aug. 2003.

With a drunk (with power) and out of control George W. behind the wheel (masquerading as the exaulted Leader of the Free World) OSHA has killed dozens of existing and proposed regulations and delayed adopting others: "The people at OSHA have no interest in running a regulatory agency. The concern about protecting workers has gone out the window," OSHA Leaves Worker Safety in Hands of Industry, S. Labaton, NY Times, April 25, 2007.

Back to the future..., read A Nation of Outlaws, A century ago, that wasn't China--it was us (S. Mihm, The Boston Globe, Aug. 26, 2007).

Either Bob Dylan was right (everybody must get stoned), or perhaps something undefinable (to me) is at work here: Survey Finds Rampant Global Corruption, Hobbling Poverty Fight: "According to a Transparency International report, corruption is crippling the battle against poverty and robbing oil-rich countries such as Iraq of their development potential," from the Corruption Information Exchange, The Institute for Ethics and Economic Policy at Fordham.

In other words, the rich shouldn't get all hysterical about social security blankets coming in the form of goats... (deforestation), or lots of children--this where the World Bank is a corrupt organization that "squandered" incomprehensible amounts of money on corrupt dictators and corrupt Multi-National Corps.--knowing that Bush and Co. will have the taxpayer picking up the tab...--where such money could have gone to work building social security homes, ect...

Laura,
My name is Mark Eichenlaub and I write about Saddam Hussein's links to terrorism at www.regimeofterror.com and elsewhere and I have some information on Saddam's goons FIGHTING al Qaeda that I thought you may be interested in.

Please contact me if so.

the whole thing is a joke

Gonzales was the worst kind of whore. He traded judicial influence in return for political contributions to his buddies. Not that completely different from Saddam.
The reason he is having a problem getting a job is that he was SO sleazy that even the sleaziest law firms have a hard time with what he did, even the ones he improperly helped, and perhaps, especially them--because they fear this info from becomming public.
