The graduates, along with hundreds of family and friends sitting throughout the arena, greeted Gonzales' remarks with enthusiastic applause. Outside, as the well-wishers filed in, three protesters chanted slogans condemning "evil Al" and held signs referring to controversial memos he wrote as White House counsel stating that laws forbidding torture don't apply to enemy combatants.

Gonzales made no reference to the administration's anti-terrorism policies except to recall that he and other officials worked "16 hours a day, seven days a week" in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

...
It may seem egotistical or self-centered to want to be remembered, but I believe that we were put here to make a difference," Gonzales said. "Go for it."

*****Oh, Mr. "organ failure" will be remembered, all right.

2. In Texas those 3 represent at least 30,000 in that area.

So many people live in fear of taking a stance against this regime. A lot of people think the same thing, but are afraid to take a stance that the stupid media keeps telling them is "un-patriotic" or is a slap to our troops. Torture is not a human value and it should not be a new American value either.

I applaud them too.
