On Hardball tonight, General Wesley Clark was asked by Matthews about the nomination of Alberto Gonzales for Attorney General. Clark stated in unequivocal terms that the nomination of Gonzales for AG was an outrage. Clark stated that he could not support any person for Attorney General who asserted that:
(1) torture was in any way acceptable under American law;
(2) that the Geneva Conventions could be circumvented; and
(3) the President has unfettered power.
"How could Americans feel confident in the rule of law with an Attorney General who does not respect the most basic tenets of American law?"
Matthews asked Clark if he would testify against Gonzales? Clark responded that he would testify against anyone who signed off the documents Gonzales approved.
Yeah, he's my guy, but I think we all can agree with what he said about Gonzales.
