Should Gonzales be the attorney general?

Via Americablog. Excellent ad campaign against the appointment of Alberto Gonzales to attorney general. For the past 4 years he's been the counsel to the president. He's the one who wrote the famous torture memo, which claimed that the Geneva conventions didn't apply to those captured in the war on terror. As the Washington Post reported, "One of the most controversial provisions of the earlier memorandum, signed by Levin's predecessor, Jay S. Bybee, was an assertion that the president's executive powers were sufficient to permit tolerance of torturous acts in extraordinary circumstances."
