Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
Bush's new attorney general follows in Alberto Gonzales' footsteps perfectly with slavish, fact-free devotion to the president's whims.
  • You really have to wonder

    Mike Mukasey was a long-time federal judge and so I feel perfectly comfortable calling that what it is: a brazen lie. -GlennGreenwald

    What is it, which presumably would be revealed by allowing the telecom suits to proceed, that the Bush administration would (literally) pull out all of the stops to suppress? Why would Mukasey humiliate himself like this? It really makes me curiouser and curiouser. The more they resist, the more alarmed I become, and the more I want to know what it is.

    I just finished reading Horton's Vote Machine which is a substantive discussion of the GOP's perversion of the DOJ. Is the assault on FISA just more of the same, or is this a different kettle of fish altogether?
