Say No to Torture: Vote No on Gonzales
American Dash is one of more than 500 blogs on record opposing Alberto Gonzales for U.S. attorney-general. The Senate opens debate on his nomination today, and there may even be a vote. We urge our U.S. readers to contact their Senators and urge them to vote no. Torture is ineffective and therefore unnecessary, but more than that it is inhuman and immoral.
If he is confirmed, Gonzales' problems will not go away. His torture memos, which he has never clearly repudiated, will haunt the U.S. for a generation, and will keep the Iraqi prison photos alive around the world. But he also faces legal questions, including possible perjury and other crimes and improprieties in Texas, and now he has been named as a defendant in a suit alleging complicity in war crimes (link below), namely the torture of Iraqi prisoners and prisoners at Guantanamo.

Great. Now not only is a vote for Gonzales a pro-torture vote, but it's also a vote for an alleged war criminal. Some rep. congressmen must be getting nervous.
