We worked very hard to establish ground rules and parameters about how to deal with terrorists. And if people go beyond that, I think it is legitimate to question and examine that conduct to ensure people are held accountable for their actions, even if it's action in prosecuting the war on terror.
Zach Roth at Muckraker goes on:
Holder has said that CIA personnel who stayed within the Justice Department's legal guidelines will not be prosecuted.
Those people, said Gonzales, "are heroes and and should be treated like heroes for the most part, not criminals."
Gonzo added: "As chief prosecutor of the United States, [Holder] should make the decision on his own, based on the facts, then inform the White House."
We might be reading into this a little too closely. He sounds like he's trying to be as vague as he can be and still look like a victim of the Bushies. I don't guess he'll be saying much anymore about looking as far up the totem pole as possible now.
That'll be all Gonzo. Thanks for coming.
