The president won't fire Alberto Gonzales. He needs him to protect White House secrets, including the scheming roles of Cheney and Rove.
  • Futher investigation

    The congressional committees who are investigating Bush administration activities should apply a new tact toward acquiring documentation.

    The Bush inner circle may be politically savvy, but given their age, they most likely are not computer savvy. Most probably they have not clamped down on electronic data issues as they have clamped down on political loyalty issues.

    The congressional committees should subpoena bureaucratic level data, network, server, and security administrators who work in the departments they are investigating. These are the people who are privy to the best guarded secrets in this country. These are the people who administer the databases and other file systems that store all electronic data. These are the people who can answer many questions, and who can not be covered by executive privilege. The only problem is that the committees must know whom to ask, and which questions to ask of them.
