Gonzales should apologize to UF, America

While 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.

Protesters offended many, even liberals

I 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.

UF sophomore wide receiver Jarred Fayson has asked for and been granted a release from the football team in order to transfer to another school, a UF official confirmed Tuesday afternoon. Fayson, who had 12 catches for 148 yards and three touchdowns in 11 games this season, did not play in Saturday's win against Florida State. In addition, redshirt freshman tight end Trent Pupello has also been allowed to seek a transfer.
