Attorney General Gonzales:

I could walk away or I could devote my time, effort and energy to fix the problems. Since I have never been one to quit, I decided that the best course of action was to remain here and fix the problems. That is exactly what I am doing.

Senator Whitehouse:

I don’t know how you can say you can solve the problem when it appears that you are in fact the problem.

US News & World Report:

Senators pledged to get to the bottom of discrepancies in his congressional testimony about the classified terrorist surveillance program— which directly contradicts earlier testimony from former Deputy Attorney General James Comey. They would, (Senator) Specter told Gonzales, ’see if your credibility has been breached to a point of being actionable.’

USA Today:

Documents indicate eight congressional leaders were briefed about the Bush administration’s terrorist surveillance program on the eve of its expiration in 2004, contradicting sworn Senate testimony this week by Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.

Gonzales doesn’t know how many attorneys he fired, won’t say who asked him to visit former AG Ashcroft in the hospital, and is again either committing perjury or just plain doesn’t know a damn thing about the meetings he’s been in or the job he does.

Back in April, I’d described when this whole thing began to break that the facts can only lead to one of three conclusions. Alberto Gonzales is either:

• incompetent
• competent but asleep at the wheel
• competent but a political lapdog for the White House

I had left out one other option because I didn’t think the facts warranted its’ consideration until now; Alberto Gonzales, U.S Attorney General, is lying under oath and therefore is a disgrace to his position, his profession, and most importantly to the Constitution he swore an oath to protect.

It is time for Gonzales to resign before he destroys what remaining trust and faith the American people have in the Department of Justice.
