Alberto Gonzlaes

As of Monday August 27, the Attorney General of the United States has resigned. Alberto Gonzales continually toed the line between legal and illegal acts. He testified that the US did not have to obey the Geneva convention and was allowed to torture. He changed the definition of torture to better adhere to the administrations needs. However, his ultimate downfall came from his firing of US attorneys after they failed to investigate Democratic corruption before the midterm elections of 2006. When these attorneys failed to come up with indictments before the election they were fired strictly on political grounds. All of the attorneys were registered republicans.
Alberto Gonzales made a mockery of United States law that has not been seen since possibly the Nixon era. He imprisoned people without charges and broke nearly every tenet of the United States Constitution. It is a happy day that he is finally resigning.
