DEMS CONSIDER TORTURE SHOW 'N TELL AT GONZALES HEARING

**Exclusive**

During upcoming confirmation hearings for Attorney General-nominee Alberto Gonzales, senior Democrats want to screen infamous videotapes showing Iraqis being abused at Abu Ghraib prison, top sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.

The curtain is raised Thursday for the Senate Judiciary Committee's showdown with Gonzales.

The Bush White House counsel will be grilled about his role in formulating the administration's legal policies on coercive techniques in interrogations -- techniques some Democrats believe led to outright torture!

Yet it's the grainy prison videos, shot by a soldier's cellphone and never before viewed by the public, that threaten to turn the New Year ugly: A video of a handcuffed prisoner beating his head against a wall; a video of a group of hooded men shown masturbating.

1. It should be part of the public record.
They want to put Gonzalez up for AG, the American people should understand what kind of warcrimes he condones and what his legal positions were that allowed this stuff to happen. Let him explain it publicly.
