DHinMI over at DailyKos builds a historical argument to claim that Alberto "Gonzales advocates policies consistent with tyranny." Is DHinMI just a loon, or does his historical case make sense?
For background, you might want to consult a couple of recent writings:
Conservative columnist and blogger Andrew Sullivan in the NY Times Book Review, Atrocities in Plain Sight
and
in the New York Review of Books Torture and Gonzales: An Exchange, By G. Jan Ligthart, Robert S. Rivkin, Reply by Mark Danner; In response to Abu Ghraib: The Hidden Story (October 7, 2004)
[Update on Sullivan: I am decidedly a non-fan of his work and thinking, but he has been very strong on the torture issue and, now that the election is over, seems ready to really turn against the war -- though like most conservatives-with-a-brain these days, he is having a hard time reconciling his love of power with his principles.]
