Will AG be the AG?

Tomorrow begins the confirmation hearings on Bush's appointment of Alberto Gonzales to the position of Attorney General. A lot has been made of the infamous "torture memo" that he shipped on up to the Bushies that, if it didn't directly lead to the Abu Ghraib and Gitmo incidents, then at least allowed the administration to continue to overlook them. Anyway, there has been some discussion of the whole thing over at Newsthoughts, notably here. I'm not sure if I'm going to watch it or not, but it'll be interesting to see whether Bush's political capital can hold up better than the dollar.

But provided that AG is confirmed as AG, I've got the soundtrack for the next 4 years at Gitmo lined up: Coil's Horse Rotorvator. With tracks like "The Anal Staircase", "Penetralia", and "The First Five Minutes After Death", not to mention the vaguely little-kid-in-a-minaret-sounding "Babylero", it seems as if it was almost tailor-made for the experience.
