This is what real Congressional oversight looks and sounds like



Sen. Pat Leahy gave a real tongue-lashing to our whiny coward of an an Attorney General, Abu Gonzales.

Via War and Piece, The Reaction blog provides some background on the particular case they were discussing, that of Canadian citizen Maher Arar. He also provides a link to the report on the hearing from Canadian CBC Radio, which has a more complete version of the exchange and gives a better understanding of what a weasely character Abu Gonzales is.

FEATURED QUOTE

"It is the logic of our times
No subject for immortal verse
That we who lived by honest dreams
Defend the bad against the worse."


-- Cecil Day-Lewis from Where Are The War Poets?
