Alberto Gonzales faced tough questioning during senate confirmation hearings, primarily about his role as author of the so-called "Torture Memo," which, in essence, dismissed the basics tenets of the Geneva Convention when questioning enemy combatants. Gonzales stated, in the interest of national security, code words were used in an effort to thwart enemy intelligence. Gonzales claimed the phrase "jumper cables affixed to the genitals" actually meant "no dessert" and "beating with a baseball bat to the point of organ failure" meant "shave one eyebrow, take picture, and post photo on Flickr." Gonzales expects to be confirmed by the full Senate, now that the misunderstandings have been cleared up.
