Alberto Gonzales: On second thought, I don’t support Holder’s CIA probe
Former Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales said Thursday that his
previous assertion that it was "legitimate to question and examine"
charges of CIA abuses of terrorism suspects did not mean he endorsed
such an investigation.
"Contrary to press reporting and based on the information
that's available to me," Mr. Gonzales said during an interview Thursday
with The Washington Times, "I don't support the investigation by the
department because this is a matter that has already been reviewed
thoroughly and because I believe that another investigation is going to
harm our intelligence gathering capabilities and that's a concern
that's shared by career intelligence officials, and so for those
reasons I respectfully disagree with the decision."
