For Alberto Gonzales, a Decade of Scandals, with a Child Molestation Cover-Up to Boot
snip:
One scandal that was not noted by this article, and has routinely been ignored by the mainstream media in general, was the sex scandal cover-up Attorney General Goznales was involved in during his days as part of general counsel in Texas under George W. Bush.

In an article released by Dr. Jerome Corsi of WorldNet Daily News back in March, Gonzales was accused of failing to prosecute members of the Texas Youth Commission "after a Texas Ranger investigation documented that guards and administrators were sexually abusing the institution's teenage boy inmates....among the charges in the Texas Ranger report were that administrators would rouse boys from their sleep for the purpose of conducting all-night sex parties."

According to Corsi's article, " a criminal investigation was conducted in 2005 by Texas Ranger Brian Burzynski. The investigation revealed key employees at the West Texas State School in Pyote, Texas, were systematically abusing youth inmates in their custody....Burzynski presented his findings to the attorney general (Gonzales) in Texas, to the U.S. Attorney Sutton, and to the Department of Justice civil rights division. From all three, Burzynski received no interest in prosecuting the alleged sexual offenses."

In an article posted on Wired.com last week, "Gonzales, speaking to police and prosecutors in Illinois this week, called on them to get "extremely graphic" in discussing internet child porn to get the public's attention. According to this account, Gonzales repeatedly stressed the need to give the public more lurid accounts of what officers have seen."
