Mi Planeta No Es Su Planeta

Although it is traditional for the entire cabinet to resign and then go through a re-appointment process at the start of a second term, it looks as if John Ashcroft is throwing in the towel for good. In a five-page handwritten note, Ashcroft told Bush, "The objective of securing the safety of Americans from crime and terror has been achieved."

Uh, yeah. Whatever.

With Gonzales named succesor, I don't become less worried but even more so.

Gonzales is the man who pushed to keep several energy commision meetings secret. Defended Bush & Cheney's detainment of terrorism suspects indefinetly without counsel or Due Process. Also defended the Bush administrations actions on ignoring the Geneva Convention. Was a principle influence & aid in forming the Patriot Act along with Ashcroft.

Then again unsuprising that Bush would appoint an old cronie of his, and to my view, someone he could control.
