See if you can catch the absolute lack of concern for American civil rights in the following...

Reason Magazine - Hit & Run > Gonzo Con Law:

"Attorney General of the United States Albert Gonzales: I meant by that comment that the Constitution doesn't say that every individual in the United States or every citizen has or is assured the right of habeas corpus. It doesn't say that. It simply says that the right of habeas corpus shall not be suspended."

I'd call such parsing "Clintonian," except that to do so would undermine the seriousness of it all. When Clinton fiddled with the meaning of "is," he was hedging about a blowjob. Gonzalez is getting cutesy with 300 years of human rights jurisprudence, and the very foundation of modern criminal law.

In other words... Government of the United States to the American people - "Fuck you."
