Report: A.G. Nominee Worked to Keep Info From Press
Lots of interesting, and depressing information here about Gonzales’ role in the administration’s continuing policy of secrecy and back room dealings.
At the White House, however, the report points out Gonzales’ interpretation of executive privilege, which he has sought to broaden under the Bush Administration, as potentially the most troubling of his actions as White House counsel: “Alberto Gonzales has been an active defender of what is best described as a quasi-executive privilege, invoked repeatedly by the Bush administration in attempts to keep government information from public scrutiny.”
