New York Times calls for dismissal of Attorney General Gonzales

An editorial in yesterday's New York Times called for George W. Bush to dismiss Alberto ("Torture Boy") Gonzales and "appoint an attorney general who will use the job to enforce the law and defend the Constitution."

This editorial comes three days after Senator Arlen Specter (R-PA) "hinted very obliquely that perhaps Mr. Gonzales's time was up."

The editorial provides a fairly comprehensive list of reasons why, including Gonzales's defense of the "obviously politically motivated firing of eight United States attorneys", his defense of Bush's warrantless spying on American citizens, and his undermining of the Geneva Conventions.

Of course, the right-wing pundits will surely waste no time in dismissing this editorial as yet another example of America-hating left-wing media bias.

But who really hates what America is supposed to stand for?
