2004 Presidential Transition
The grilling of Alberto Gonzales starts today, according to the Denver Post editorial staff [January 6, 2005, "Gonzales on a griddle of his own making"]. They write, "If Gonzales is to be the nation's next attorney general, he should show a grasp for civil liberties that eluded John Ashcroft and strongly renounce the legal defense of torture. A report late yesterday said that Gonzales planned to do just that. He must show that he is capable of making the transition from the White House, where he has been fiercely loyal to his client, George Bush, to the Justice Department, where his job will be to protect the rule of law."
TalkLeft: "The confirmation hearings for Alberto Gonzales as Attorney General begin today. Alan Berlow, who authored the Atlantic Monthly article on Gonzales' role as clemency advisor to President Bush when he was Governor of Texas recaps Gonzales role as Facilitator in Chief in Salon."
Ms. Merritt is also pointing to John Ashcroft's rendition of Let the Eagles Soar.
