Gonzales defends advice at confirmation hearing
Attorney General nominee Alberto Gonzales faced sharp questions at his confirmation hearing as he pledged to prosecute prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay and to honor international anti torture treaties. He defended his White House counsel stance that terror suspects are not protected by the Geneva Conventions, while stating torture will not be tolerated. He is expected to win confirmation and would become the first Hispanic attorney general.
