Kyle Sampson was former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales’ chief of staff. He had also been an advisor to John Ashcroft.
Sampson helped create the list of U.S. Attorneys to be fired. Under pressure from Congress, Gonzales said he was going to turn over the emails regarding these firings.
As a result, Sampson resigned.
He joined the firm of Hunton and Williams. As a result, many people have called for both an investigation and boycotts of this firm due to Sampson’s misconduct and, of course, his status as a neocon and promoter of the failed policies of George W. Bush.
Gonzales had wanted to nominate Sampson to be U.S. Attorney for Utah, but ran afoul of Bush. Infighting between neocons is nothing new.
Speaking of torture…She's "torture girl" Lynndie England. She implemented Gonzales' policy of torture while assigned to Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.The photographs of her horrific treatment of Iraqi prisoners have turned people around the world against the United States. One can only hope that it will be seen that she did not act for all Americans.As a convicted felon, she, like Alberto Gonzales, is having trouble finding work.
They call him "torture boy" and with good reason. He, more than anyone else, fought to make torture a part of U.S. policy.
He failed, and had to resign as Attorney General. He has been unable to find a job.
Amazing! At one point, President Bush seemed to want to appoint him to the Supreme Court.
He made other serious mistakes as well. He allowed the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to dupe Haji Bashir Noorzai into coming to the United States. Noorzai thought he would be working with the Americans in Afghanistan. Instead, he was arrested.
Not only does this make Gonzales a liar, but he did grave damage to US-Afghan relations.
To make it even worse, corrupt FBI employees involved in the matter were let off with little more than a slap on the wrist!
