Gonzales to Spend More Time Eavesdropping on His Family
âDomestic Surveillance Begins at Home,â Former A.G. Says
Attorney General Alberto Gonzales resigned today, effective immediately,
telling reporters that he wanted to spend more time eavesdropping on his family.
Mr. Gonzales, a champion of domestic surveillance and warrantless wiretaps
while in office, said he was âtotally stokedâ about turning his prying eyes
on his own family.
âDomestic surveillance begins at home,â Mr. Gonzales said at a White House
press conference. âThat means nobody in my family is above suspicion, not
even the little ones,â an apparent reference to Mr. Gonzalesâ children.
Standing by Mr. Gonzalesâ side, President George W. Bush praised his former
Attorney General, singling out his âcourageâ for ramping up his domestic
spying program on his own family.
âIf every head of every household was as willing to eavesdrop on his own
family as my man Alberto is, we wouldnât need a Homeland Security Department,â
Mr. Bush chuckled.
Mr. Gonzales was noncommittal when a reporter asked him a question about the
role that waterboarding and other forms of torture might play in his
interrogation of family members.
âNothing is off the table,â he said.
Asked about his tenure as Attorney General, Mr. Gonzales was candid about
his stormy time in office: âFrankly, I canât believe it took this long for
them to shitcan me.â
