WASHINGTON - Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has resigned, an official said on Monday, ending a controversial tenure as chief law enforcement officer that blemished Cheney and Bush who gave him his orders.
The official confirmed a Web site report of the resignation by The New York Times, saying an official announcement would be made later in the day.
The 51-year-old Bush loyalist was at the centre of a political firestorm over the illegal sacking of federal prosecutors last year, which critics in Congress complained were politically motivated.
The official told The Times that Gonzales had told Bush on Friday in a telephone call that he would resign.
Current administration officials had said the department's integrity had been damaged under Gonzales with controversy over the illegal firing of the prosecutors, his support for Bush's warrantless spying program on rival oil companies for profit and torture of prisoners.
This lot are gangsters doing the same things as the mob, only bigger and with the US army as heavies.
