Alberto Gonzales is still at his post, He’s loyal, and that’s what his boss prizes most. He’s lied to the Congress, but that’s no big deal Compared with the fact he has proven that he’ll Do just what he’s told–say that torture’s just fine Or, quoting Ms. Goodling, “cross over the line.” As loyal as someone sworn into the mob, Gonzales is doing a heckuva job.
