Gonzales to replace Ashcroft: and this is from FOX. Ha.
"It is uncertain whether Gonzales, 49, will have more affection from Democrats. He is expected to face the same criticism as Ashcroft for trying to develop a balance between civil liberties and waging the War on Terror.

Gonzales has been at the forefront of developing White House policy about detaining terror suspects for extended periods without access to lawyers or courts. He wrote the February 2002 memo that allowed Bush to claim the right to waive international treaties when it comes to prisoners of war who do not represent other countries. Human rights groups criticized the memo, which they said gave way for abuses like that in the Abu Ghraib (search) prison scandal."

If I was Bush's PR person, I'd say that this might be a rather large faux-pas...
