The protype of such lawyerly criminality is a certain Alberto Gonzalez, consigliore to the Ubu Family. On Jan. 25, 2002, this future luminary of the US judiciary advised his co-conspirators: the "new paradigm" created by the gang-war on 'terrorism' "renders obsolete Geneva's [the Geneva conventions against torture and mistreatment of war prisoners] strict limitations on questioning of enemy prisoners and renders quaint some of its provisions." How can any lawyer legitimately be indicted for anything by Ubu's [in]Justice Department while this aider and abettor of war crimes and crimes against humanity remains at large?
