DENVER—Former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez is speaking at the University of Colorado about how the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks impacted the presidency and the Department of Justice.
Gonzalez is scheduled to speak Thursday morning at CU-Denver’s downtown campus.
Gonzalez was criticized for a January 2002 memo in which he argued that the war on terrorism “renders obsolete Geneva’s strict limitations on questioning of enemy prisoners and renders quaint some of its provisions.”
He advised former president George W. Bush that al-Qaida and the Taliban should be considered outside the coverage of the Geneva Conventions.
