Yo, Dougie

Yesterday, Doug Kmiech penned an all-too predictable Ego Te Absolvo op-ed in the WaPo, wondering what all the fuss was about regarding Abu G's poor bedside manner.

Today, Gene Robinson offers Dougie a lesson in Remedial Ethics.

It just gets worse and worse. We already knew that Alberto Gonzales -- who, unbelievably, remains our attorney general -- was willing to construe the Constitution and the Geneva Conventions however George W. Bush and Dick Cheney wanted. We knew he was willing to politicize the Justice Department, if that was what the White House wanted. Now we learn that Gonzales also was willing to accost a seriously ill man in his hospital room to get his signature on a dodgy justification for unprecedented domestic surveillance.
