His name first surfaced when, as Deputy White House Counsel, he defended the use of torture techniques such as "waterboarding." Immediately thereafter, Timothy Flanigan went on to work for Tyco International and supervise now-indicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff's efforts to help corporations scuttle legislation that would have penalized them for relocating offshore to avoid taxes.

Now, President Bush wants to put Flanigan in Deputy Attorney General position at the Department of Justice. In an amazing display of "fox guarding the henhouse" syndrome, this President proposes to give the nation's number two law enforcement position to a man who condoned torture, and recently hired and supervised a scandal-ridden, indicted lobbyist. It's not about the middle class working man.
