[Vision2020] This Attorney General Has to Go?

[Tony]

Nick, would it be reasonable to expect you to quote A.G. Gonzales' entire 
message with regard to habeas corpus?  One might otherwise suspect, after 
all, that you are quoting him out of context.  He does seem like a 
reasonable man......   You don't having anything against Hispanics in this 
administration do you?  I know that the diversity of the Bush cabinet has 
caused consternation for more than a few.

Best wishes,   -Tony
