Alberto, how we’ve missed ya. Our favourite memory challenged Bush staffer is back in hot water for his apparent mishandling of secret government documents.
From WOKV:
Former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales mishandled highly classified notes about a secret counterterror program, but not on purpose, according to a memo by his legal team.
The memo, obtained by The Associated Press, acknowledges that Gonzales improperly stored notes about the program and might have taken them home at one point.
Removing secret documents from specially secured rooms violates government policy.
Gonzales’ lawyers wrote in their memo that there is no evidence the security breach resulted in secret information being viewed or otherwise exposed to anyone who was not authorized.
The classified notes focus on a March 2004 meeting with congressional leaders about a national security program that was about to expire. Efforts to renew the program sparked an intense Bush administration debate that played out at the hospital bedside of then-Attorney General John Ashcroft.
Hmm, shoud make for some interesting headlines on Tuesday. Oh wait. There’s the storm in the Gulf. And the RNC are having their shindig.
I’ll be surprised if this gets any press time on CNN, MSNBC et cetera.
