Alberto Gonzales Hearts Guantánamo Bay

Robert Gates argued to President Bush that Guantánamo Bay was hurting the United State's in the war on terrorism and the military tribunal trials would be viewed as illegal. The Geneva Convention hater quickly nixed that idea.

Mr. Gates’s arguments were rejected after Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales and some other government lawyers expressed strong objections to moving detainees to the United States, a stance that was backed by the office of Vice President Dick Cheney, administration officials said.

There is still a (small) chance Guantánamo Bay will be closed. It all hinged on Gonzo's future.

“Let’s see what happens to Gonzales,” that official said, referring to speculation that Mr. Gonzales will be forced to step down, or at least is significantly weakened, because of the political uproar over the dismissal of United States attorneys. “I suspect this one isn’t over yet.”

The continues policy of torture and suspension of habeas corpus biggest backer is Gonzales. Forget him resigning. Gonzo needs to be disbarred.
