Covenantnews.com – WASHINGTON — Attorney General-nominee Alberto Gonzales, under scorching criticism from senators, condemned torture as an interrogation tactic Thursday and promised to prosecute abusers of terror suspects.

Man, only link part of your post eh? Making the whole thing one big link makes it somewhat hard to read. 😉 Just link a couple words, not two paragraphs.
On the topic itself, like so many others on other topics, he is merely trying to cover his rear. Nothing has changed about his approach to torture, he’s just burying it because it’s politically expedient.
I truly find the majority of politicians absolutely despicable. It’s bad enough to hold a position as odius as some of the ones Gonazoles espouses, but to be willing to bend and comprimise on pretty much anything in a quest for power and position is just despicable. If you believe something, have the guts to stick to it. Disgusting. Truly disgusting.
Hey Sham,
Thanks for the tip. Link problem will be solved from now on. I concur with your brief analysis thereof. It appears that this administration has in a sense made Christians throughout this country fools. They promised them much, but elect people of little ethical values. Gonzalez who is a committed Pro-abortionist and Alen Scepter(also a pro-abortionist) will not be the end of the horror. I am afraid to say there is more to come
