Oh, surprise, surprise... Gonzales rejects Gore's call for an independent counsel

if they're acting within the law and have nothing to hide, why wouldn't a special counsel be welcomed... it would provide vindication and regain the trust of the american people as nothing else could at a time when that trust is dropping right through the floorboards...

KING: Back to former Vice President Gore asking for a special counsel to investigate, would you object to that?

GONZALES: Well, I don't know why -- I don't know why there would be a need for a special counsel at this time, Larry, because what I can tell you is that from the very beginning, from its inception this program has been carefully reviewed by the lawyers at the Department of Justice and other lawyers within the administration and we firmly believe that the president does have the legal authority to authorize electronic surveillance in order to gather up foreign intelligence particularly, Larry, when we're talking about foreign intelligence of the enemy in a time of war.

KING: Thank you so much, general. It's always good seeing you. GONZALES: Thank you, Larry.

KING: That was General Alberto Gonzales, the Attorney General of the United States. He previously served as White House counsel to President George W. Bush.

"we firmly believe..." PROVE IT, ASSHOLE...! oh, and btw, larry king is a toady...
