Former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales is like that distant cousin who keep showing up at family parties and embarrassing you because he “represents” you. Today the U.S. Department of Justice released a report saying that Gonzales “mishandled” highly classified documents about an eavesdropping program and interrogating terror detainees.

Oh is that all?

The report says Gonzales failed to store the documents in proper secure facilities and at one point took them home. The report released Tuesday also says he stored them in his briefcase because he did not know the combination to the safe at his house.

Excuse me while I crack up.

The government is wasting time on investigating if Gonzales was “forgetful or unaware of the proper way to handle the top secret papers” not on the actual policies contained within the papers. Policies that violated international law?
