On the recordFebruary 2, 2005
I do rise in support of Alberto Gonzales to be confirmed as the next Attorney General for the United States. I want to respond to some of the ridiculous accusations of those who are opposed to this confirmation, and talk about some of the actual facts involved, which seem to be missing from the conversations on the floor coming from his critics and from those who are opposed. I do not think Judge Gonzales nor could the administration be more clear than they have been on the policy and the subject of torture. As President Bush stated at his January 26, 2005, press conference: Al Gonzales reflects our policy, and that is we don't sanction torture.
