Mark Perkel's Idea

Let's Question Gonzales and Rove in secret foreign prisons

"...The Bush administration and Attorney General Gonzales don't want to testify to Congress under oath.
Congress is ready to subpoena them to force them to testify.
Bush threatens a constitutional showdown if they do.

Can a compromise be reached? Is there a way that Gonzales and Rove can be questioned
in a way that the Bush administration would approve of?

Bush and Gonzales have vigorously defended the use of secret prisons in foreign countries
as a way of getting to the truth. Both have stated to Congress that they are totally legal,
that they are not torture, and that they are effective.

So maybe we should send Gonzales and Rove to a secret foreign prison for questioning.
How could they object to that?
I bet the Democrats would go along with that".

Whatcha Gonna Do When They Come For You?

So...Let's say you're the President of the United States.

The chief aide to your Vice President was convicted of perjury and obstructing justice, a hostile congress is launching investigation after investigation of your abuses of power, and the impeachment movement is gaining steam. What do you do?

The most logical thing to do...Fire all the lawyers!

If you choose this option, make sure that your lawyer doesn't get caught lying about the whole affair before congress. Oops!

Good thing you have a backup plan!

Gee, if the Petagon says it, it must be true.
