| Eliot Spitzer, someone who knows a thing or two about being an Attorney General, is quoted by Danny Hakim of the New York Times as saying that embattled US Attorney General Alberto Gonzales "is a blight upon the Department of Justice." The Governor also evokes the lawlessness and overt politicization of the DOJ during the Nixon era.
Spitzer, Nixon and Gonzales
As one might expect, Eliot Spitzer, the former New York attorney general turned governor, has some opinions about Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. As one might expect, they are not kind.
"I think it is a blight upon the Department of Justice that Alberto Gonzales is still the attorney general," Mr. Spitzer said in an interview last week.
"We are brought back to the days, the dark days of the Nixon era, where the tentacles of politics reach into the Department of Justice and threaten our core notions of what justice means," he added.
I'm reasonably sure that I'm not the only one here who feels the Governor's remarks are spot on. |
