Balko on the Imagined Persecution of Alberto Gonzales

By Ed Brayton

Balko points to this interview with Alberto Gonzales where he shows just how disconnected from reality he truly is. To wit:

"What is it that I did that is so fundamentally wrong, that deserves this kind of response to my service?" he said during an interview Tuesday, offering his most extensive comments since leaving government.

During a lunch meeting two blocks from the White House, where he served under his longtime friend, President George W. Bush, Mr. Gonzales said that "for some reason, I am portrayed as the one who is evil in formulating policies that people disagree with. I consider myself a casualty, one of the many casualties of the war on terror."
