Jeff Huber does a great job on this wide ranging interview.

JH: Would you care to give us some perspective on why [AttorneyGate] is the thing that broke the camel's back (as far as Alberto Gonzales)?

There has to be, the World Community has to have an agreed standard, and for the U.S. to thumb its nose at it, it completely abdicates our moral high ground, and we just can't do that.

Can you help us out?
