Gonzales: I'd Do It Again
Unlike Kyle Sampson, Alberto Gonzales would do all it over again.
At least, that’s what he maintained under questioning by Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD). “I’ve thought about this a lot,” Gonzales said, adding that based on what he knows today, he has no information that the firings were “in fact based on improper motives.”

I can't imagine anything else, honestly.
Ephus wrote on April 19, 2007 3:22 PM:Believe it or not, there is a sizable internet gambling community that was up in arms about Gonzalez's moves (via his handpicked USA in St. Louis) against Costa Rican based internet gambling sites. I recall seeing some webtraffic on the right just before the election that this issue was going to cost votes among the libertarian crowd. I think that Kyl might see a way to make some bones with that crowd, since Gonzalez is clearly going down.

C Turner Joy wrote on April 19, 2007 3:34 PM:So is it a common tactic to hijack hearing like Kyl and now Specter are doing?

I only admit that my name is Alberto Gonzales because you already have documentation confriming that. I will only give my name, rank, and serial number.

Did Karl Rove turn over the emails relating to Plame in the initial disclosure? You reviewed EVERY one of the files from WH. Did Rove include the RNC emails?
