What the Committee Doesn't Know Won't Hurt Alberto Gonzales

The White House refuses to release documents relating to Attorney General nominee Alberto Gonzales' role in terrorist interrogations. Critics claim that Mr Gonzales' advice while serving as President Bush's legal counsel led to a broad definition of what could be allowed when trying to get information out of prisoners in Afghanistan and Iraq. Which in turn, they claim, led to abuses like those at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) called the techniques "tantamount to torture."
