gonzales.jpgPeople may call Attorney General Alberto Gonzales many things but dumb shouldn’t be one of them, especially when it comes to civil rights violations stemming from the USA Patriot Act. Gonzales may have told lawmakers the FBI had not abused its potent new terrorism-fighting powers when he wanted to renew the Patriot Act but the truth is six days earlier, the FBI sent Gonzales a copy of a report that said its agents had obtained personal information that they were not entitled to have. And that was just one of at least half a dozen reports of legal or procedural violations that Gonzales received in the three months before he made his statement to the Senate intelligence committee.

Just goes to show you that its not enough to have a Latino in a high level of government. It has to be the right Latino.
