Attorney General Alberto Gonzales is reluctant to answer important questions that the Senate has asked him. These questions are about whether the Department of Justice corrupted our country by turning itself into an arm of the Republican party by pursuing partisan prosecutions and voter intimidation.
Gonzales won't talk - but there is an easy way to get him to sing, and it's a method he himself endorses. I say, let's use the methods he endorsed by twisting language and saying the world is different after 9/11.
Gonzales advocates the use of torture to gain valuable information. Gonzales has valuable information which the American people need to know. The American people need to know if Gonzales has corrupted our democracy, and if we won't talk, he knows that we know how to get him to talk.
I say, use the methods he authorized and approved to get the truth out of him.
If torture works. let's test the theory on the theoretician.
He could choose waterboarding, electric shock, sleep deprivation, non-stop tapes of lectures by Osama bin Laden or Hillary Clinton, standing naked on a box with a hood over his head........
We need to know if these techniques work like he said they would, and we need to get the truth out of him.
So in these post 9/11 days, I say let's bring it on.
