Gonzales -- and all Bush aparatchiks subjected to congressional/legal scrutiny -- can't tell the truth (political suicide) and can't lie (perjury charges). Therefore their only recourse is the lame "I don't recall" response.
Even after two weeks of intense coaching and rehearsals, Gonzales' memory was (ostensibly) still insufficiently jogged to answer the Senate's questions. Gonzo may still enjoy the "full support of the president," but Congress should set an example and show that they will not accept that type of obfuscation by impeaching Gonzales.
