AG the AG

Alberto Gonzalez was at a senate hearing yesterday where he argued in favor of changing the definition of what counts as a war crime. From the Times:

The differences between the administration and the Senate were most pronounced when Mr. McCain asked Mr. Gonzales whether statements obtained through "illegal and inhumane treatment" should be admissible.

Mr. Gonzales paused for almost a minute before responding.

"The concern that I would have about such a prohibition is, what does it mean?" he said.
