And so the U.S. Justice Department of George W. Bush, the Justice Department of Ashcroft, Gonzalez, and Mukasey, the Justice Department of Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo, and rendition, the Justice Department that condones torture and cannot condemn waterboarding, the Justice Department that helps facilitate and “legalize” Bush lying us into a preemptive war and then lying us into staying, a Justice Department that refuses to prosecute any private contractors for their crimes against Iraqis and shows no interest in prosecuting the Blackwater security guards who killed l7 Iraqis in the September shooting spree, the Justice Department that fires a batch of U.S. attorneys for political reasons and then contemptuously defies Congressional subpoenas investigating the scandal, the Justice Department that makes a mockery of truth, justice, and the American way, this Justice Department after waiting four long years charged baseball’s homerun champion on five felony charges, four for perjury and one for obstruction of justice, for testifying before a federal grand jury that he never used steroids.
What kind of justice is that? B3
