The New York Times reports yesterday that the Justice Department’s internal watchdog, inspector general Glenn Fine, is “investigating whether sworn statements to Congress by Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales were ‘intentionally false, misleading or inappropriate.’”
Fine has also made Mr. Gonzales the focus of investigations “into the propriety of the Justice Department’s involvement in the National Security Agency’s wiretapping program and the firing of United States attorneys last year.”
More fun can be found at Consortium News with Robert Parry, who shares with us his favorite “Gonzo” memory – “his insistence that the U.S. Constitution doesn’t expressly recognize habeas corpus, the great fair-trial principle of English law that dates back to the Magna Carta in 1215.” Memories…torment the corners of my minds…
Alberto Gonzales swept in abruptly and mauled with suede gloves!
