LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Gonzales should apologize to UF, America
By Ben Cavataro | Nov. 26, 2007While I don't agree with the way some of the audience members conducted themselves at Gonzales' speech, the disruptive behavior of the protesters pales in comparison with Gonzales' actions as White House counsel and U.S. attorney general. Gonzales denied the writ of habeas corpus, authorized illegal, warrantless wiretapping, and lied to Congress about firing U.S. attorneys before ultimately resigning after losing the confidence of Congress members from both parties.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Protesters offended many, even liberals
By William Foster | Nov. 26, 2007I am writing in response to Skeet Surrency's letter to the editor, "Protesters' actions were merited." I was there when the protesters began their theatrics. I felt like I was watching a 16-car pileup on the Turnpike. Before the students so courageously began protesting in front of a sympathetic audience, nearly everyone in the room laughed at former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. He would pay lip service to human rights and the U.S. Constitution, and everyone would be in stitches.
