Former Classmates to Gonzales: “Relent From This Reckless Path”

It is a big deal and the call for change is loudly resonating from the court of public opinion, Senate Democrats and Republicans, and now even his peers.

Two weeks after they held their 25th reunion, “fifty-six members of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales’ graduating class at Harvard Law School signed a quarter-page open letter” in the Washington Post “excoriating their former classmate for his ‘cavalier handling of our freedoms.’”

“Your country and your President are in dire need of an attorney who will do the tough job of providing independent counsel,” the letter says. It calls on Gonzales to “relent from this reckless path, and begin to restore respect for the rule of law we all learned to love many years ago.”

Ouch.
