Attorney General Torquemada reminds us that "some day...this war's gonna end:"
"I think that Guantanamo will be shut down one day. Guantanamo exists because it is necessary -- we are engaged in a war on terror," Gonzales told reporters in Doha.
And, without any hint of irony, the article concludes:
Gonzales, who came to Qatar from Iraq, said he had discussed reports about "serious violations of human rights" by Iraqi security forces during his talks in Baghdad Tuesday.
"I was assured that these reports have been taken seriously," he said.
Gonzales met with Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Barham Saleh and discussed the tactics used by Iraqi security forces to combat a wave of violence, allegedly including torture.
The US military itself is currently battling a series of accusations about abuses by US troops in Iraq, including allegations of the rape and murder of an Iraqi girl and the killing of her family in the town of Mahmudiyah by a group of American soldiers in March.
