HOMESICK FOR TEXAS
Alberto Gonzales left a good life to become White House counsel.
Amid a series of legal setbacks, he's wondering why.
By Daniel Klaidman

http://msnbc.msn.com/id/5360079/site/newsweek/

Wondering why? I'm guessing the promise of an appointment to the US Supreme
Court had something to do with it. Hopefully, the voters will do the right thing
in November and end the awful specter of Bush appointing federal judges once and
for all.

* There's one detail in this story that should be very carefully noted:

The Gonzales memo that referred to certain Geneva Convention requirements as
"quaint" was actually written by David Addington, counsel to VP Cheney.
