Yes, Al. It’s a Couple Hundred Tortured Detainees, 100,000+ Iraqi Citizens, the U.S. Constitution, and You.

Former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales is sad. Due to incompetence, sense of privilege, malevolence, and disregard for the Constitution, he managed to leave office with both the left and the right hating him. The guy actually made John Ashcroft look like the administration’s resident civil libertarian.

Now Gonzales can’t find a publisher for his book, and no one has yet offered him the cushy, high-paying job at a D.C. law firm that high-ranking public officials seem to think they’re entitled to upon stepping down. So he’s wallowing in self pity and delusions of victimhood.

Check out this quote from his interview with the Wall Street Journal this week:


“What is it that I did that is so fundamentally wrong, that deserves this kind of response to my service?

. . . for some reason, I am portrayed as the one who is evil in formulating policies that people disagree with. I consider myself a casualty, one of the many casualties of the war on terror.”

Words fail.
