Specter Says Gonzales Should Leave

Sen. Arlen Specter, the leading Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said today that the panel should complete its investigation into the questionable firing of nine U.S. attorneys as soon as possible so they can find “a way to end the tenure of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.”

It is the first time that Specter has called for Gonzales to leave. Placing a planned expansion of surveillance activities under Gonzales’ control would be a major mistake, the Pennsylvania senator said, given the dysfunction at the Justice Department and the misleading statements that Gonzales has given the committee.
