Today, Truthout is providing special coverage of Alberto Gonzales's testimony before Congress, as the embattled attorney general attempts to answer hard-hitting questions from lawmakers about circumstances behind the firings of eight United States attorneys last year.
Gonzales has stated repeatedly over the past month that he was not involved in the decisions to dismiss the attorneys. However, thousands of pages of Justice Department documents released to the House Judiciary Committee contradict Gonzales's assertions. The documents show that the attorney general took part in meetings with top officials in his office last year to discuss the firings before his chief of staff carried out the plan in December.
These are just some of the issues that members of Congress intend to grill Gonzales about this morning. Our staff of reporters and columnists will zero-in on the most newsworthy elements of Mr. Gonzales's testimony and report the details as they unfold.

I will be update the blog on all updates from Truthout.org of Gonzo's testimony to Congress..
