Freiheit und Wissen: Oh how the Torture continues

Mr. Gonzalez, while serving as White House counsel, called the prohibition against torture in the Geneva Convention “quaint” and “obsolete.”

How could someone with such a disdain for protecting human rights be promoted to the head of the Justice Department of the United States? But perhaps equally disturbing is the fact that everyone expects the Democrats to let his nomination go through. Perhaps they are more concerned with saving face until mid-term elections then preventing human rights abuse.
