NYT Subversion

Alberto Gonzalez has an obligation to prosecute on this matter. This is the second time that this subversive organization has seriously hindered our country's efforts to prosecute the War on Terror.

The final sentence in Gabriel's column is the cornerstone of what this argument is about.

"Can it really be the government's position that, in the middle of a war in which we have been attacked on our own soil, the power to classify or declassify vital secrets should be taken away from elected officials acting in accord with laws set by Congress and bestowed on a private institution accountable to no one?"

I voted for this administration. I voted for it because I want this cult of death - no different than the fascism of Hitler - brought to justice and I, and millions like me, handed the power for their prosecution to the man and the philosophy that we felt would effectively handle the situation.

As a voting block, millions concerned about the future of this country for the sake of their children, pledged to bring this ideology to ruin. We did so with the confidence that the administration we hired would use all the tools available to its greatest advantage.

We did not foresee, however, this usurpation of authority by false patriotism and adulterated constitutional largesse.
The first amendment does not give this institution the right to highjack my efforts to provide for the common defense nor to deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
