Yes, of course, Alberto Gonzales must go. His gross mismanagement of the U.S. Department of Justice by enabling White House political meddling in the professional ranks has ripped apart the department.
He no longer has the support of a growing number of members of Congress, including from within the Republican Party. He does not deserve the support of the American people. If he will not resign, and if the president will not fire him, Congress should begin proceedings to impeach him.
That should be just the beginning of the work of Congress, however. Based on new details that emerged before the Senate Judiciary Committee last week, more questions must be asked of Bush administration officials, including whether President Bush personally - and in contradiction of the advice of his attorney general and the Justice Department's top legal adviser - directed spying on American citizens in violation of the law.
That is from the Des Moines Register. I personally think we should call it the San Francisco Register now myself, because obviously their values are all out of whack.
