Today's Washington Post reports that Attorney General Alberto Gonzales was given a report detailing FBI abuses of power six days before testifying to Congress where he sought to renew the Patriot Act. In front of the Senate Intelligence Committee he claimed he knew of no wrongdoing or abuse of power, and that the Patriot Act was free of problems, despite the reports of numerous violations of the law and FBI protocol.
The report detailed acts of unauthorized surveillance, improper searches, and other procedural and legal breaches of civil rights and privacy laws. Gonzales was also briefed on the abuse of an anti-terror tool known as the national security letter as early as 2005, well before the Justice Department's inspector general made these violations public.

Gonzo aka the fruit picker hasn't told the truth yet why would anyone think he would now. Gonzo was brought in the inter circle by George W. Bush as he knew he could control the fruit picker. Gonzo was like a pig in mud when he was allowed to join the good old rich boys. Yes they would smile and build him up but look for the bottom to fall out. Karl Rove knows he has complete protection unlike the other lap dogs. Karl Rove was the Master Planner who during the first Clinton term, out lined his evil plan to take over the United States. I will be interesting to see when Gonzo aka fruit picker has to go back to his home and even Hispanics turn the back on him. At lease he drug dealing sister will lose her protected crime card.
