In the positions he took as White House Counsel, Mr. Gonzales set the stage for the abuse that happened at Abu Ghraib and other U.S. military prisons around the world.
Mr. Gonzales was the architect of the legal strategy that led President Bush to order that the Geneva Conventions should not be applied to anyone captured in Afghanistan. The Geneva Conventions outline the rights of individuals captured during conflicts, including the right to be free from torture. Secretary of State Powell and others vigorously opposed Mr. Gonzales' decision to dispense with the Geneva Conventions. A federal judge has called his position illegal.
Urge your Senators to get to the bottom of Mr. Gonzales' role in laying the groundwork for the abuses at Abu Ghraib.
