Um, Yeah
On whether Abu Gonzalez is even a barely sharp knife in the drawer, Stuart Taylor says:
Gonzales was plucked by then-Gov. Bush of Texas from a big law firm where he was a relatively undistinguished partner. As the governor's counsel, he sent Bush superficial memos that cleared the way for executions of more than 50 death-row inmates by dismissing their clemency petitions, while sometimes ignoring evidence of ineffective counsel, mitigating circumstances, and even possible innocence. His 20-some judicial opinions as a Bush appointee on the Texas Supreme Court were unimpressive, as have been his public performances as White House counsel and attorney general. People outside the administration who have tried to engage him in serious discourse about complex issues sometimes come away shocked by the superficiality of his knowledge and the shallowness of his analysis.
Link. Btw, not sure how long that link will work, but at least for the next few days.

Check out this interview with AG and particularly the fact that he says:
“If I find out that, in fact, any of these decisions were motivated, the recommendations to me were motivated for improper reasons to interfere with the public corruption case, there will be swift and — there will be swift and decisive action. I can assure you that.”
Note the "swift and decisive action." This strikes me as a threat against anyone who implicates him in a cover up, and an attempt to claim that he was out of the loop and his subordinates mislead him. The word "swift" is particularly ominous: talk bad about me or Bush and you'll be swift-boated.
If Kyle Sampson has damaging testimony, and it looks like he will, I bet he gets a royal bugger by Bush Inc.
