“Attorney General Alberto Gonzales apologized to the nation’s 93 U.S. attorneys in a conference call Friday as he tried to hold on to his job amid the scandal over the firings of eight federal prosecutors. … Across the country, morale within U.S. attorneys’ offices deteriorated, leaving many feeling misled by the Bush administration. ‘They feel a strong sense of betrayal,’ said a former Bush administration Justice Department official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to protect his friends in the administration.”
UPDATE: “Two New Mexico lawyers with strong ties to the state Republican Party met last summer with a top aide to U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and complained about then-U.S. Attorney David Iglesias,” the AP reports. One of the lawyers, Pat Rogers, “has represented the New Mexico GOP in legal matters for several years,” and “was among the names that Sen. Pete Domenici, R-N.M., submitted to President Bush for consideration as Iglesias’ successor.”
First Gonzo said that was too busy in his job to talk to Judicial Committe about the firings of the U.S. Attorneys and now he says he is sorry to all 93 attorneys. Too little too late, Gonzo. Your ass needs to be fired. He is a disservice to the representation of an Attorney General...

The only time a person gets an apology is when something was done wrong. If Gonzo's job wasn't on the line no one would have gotten this fake apology. Now Gonzo will get what he gave out, he will know what it feels like being fired and having his career ruined.
He apologized to the 93 attorneys and not the 8 attorneys that he railroaded. He also needs to apologize to Fitz for trying to remove him as Special Prosecutor.
