[Mad Fox]

Isn’t he a controversial man? Any thoughts?

His term as White House counsel was not without controversy, as he fought with Congress to keep the details of Vice President Dick Cheney's energy commission meetings secret and defended the administration's right to detain terrorism suspects indefinitely without formal charges and to deny them access to counsel or to protection from the court system.

Perhaps even more controversial was the February 2002 memo he wrote in which the Bush administration claimed that the Geneva Conventions did not apply to certain prisoners taken in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The memo claimed that the importance of gaining information about possible future terror attacks from people suspected of links to terrorist groups "renders obsolete Geneva's strict limitations on questioning of enemy prisoners."

It's typical politics, not putting the best person qualified to do the job in place, just put in a person who you owe favors too. Just goes to show you that the position itself can't be that important.

Huh...I don't see a problem with him personally...Just because he was trying to keep meeting minutes secret doesn't mean it was to protect someone. Maybe there was national policy info in those minutes that they didn't want released.

Don't read what the liberal media of America prints without thinking about how they print it. That piece was as much a Op-ed as it was a news story...
