Alberto Gonzalez

I'm not glad to hear that Alberto Gonzalez will take responsibility for misstatements and misconduct regarding his office and officers. He learned that line from the President, who is also quick to take responsibility for acts that are criticized, or considered questionable. The thing is, taking responsibility when there's no penalty is meaningless. The President is responsible for 3300 dead U.S. soldiers and a trillion dollars wasted in Iraq, but he stays in office, he's free, his wealth is in tact, and he lives pretty much the way he always has... except he has taken responsibility. It's better to evaluate a White House statement by believing that the opposite of what we hear is true. When the President and his people take responsibility, they really mean they can't be held responsible with any force or consequences.
