Sen. Ken Salazar & Alberto Gonzales

Thursday, May 31 at 11:38 AM

Jack J. Woehr (no hometown provided) writes:

I am a bit puzzled by Sen. Ken Salazar’s comment that he is “disappointed” in how things turned out with Att’y. Gen. Alberto Gonzales’s performance at Justice.
At the time Sen. Salazar escorted Mr. Gonzales to the Senate for confirmation, the senator already knew that Mr. Gonzales had authored the infamous “torture memorandum.”
When dealing with an individual who does not balk at war crimes, how can one be “disappointed” or surprised in any way when that individual turns out to be a scoundrel in other aspects of his behavior?

READER COMMENTS

Bravo. At least Ben turncoat Campbell had the decency to change party affiliations when he sold out those who voted for him.

Salazar plays the worst side of both fences.
