Last month, I wrote about how while Obama’s pick for Attorney General, Eric Holder, was historic because he would be the first African-American Attorney General, he had some issues with Latin America, specifically his defense of Chiquita.
Now the Republicans, who are going to try and block Holder however they can, are bringing up his involvement in another high profile Latin American incident, Elian Gonzalez and his role in Clinton pardoning Puerto Rican nationalists.

Alberto Gonzales : Hell No, He Won’t Go

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales may be the most repentant Latino in the US right now but he’s not sorry enough to resign after being called out by the media and political critics for firing eight U.S. attorneys. The firings are accused of having more to do with political positions than job performance.
Gonzales said Tuesday that “mistakes were made,” but turned the focus on himself in the Wednesday interview.
“I think I did make some mistakes and we’re going to take steps to ensure that that doesn’t happen again,” he said.
When asked if he would resign, Gonzales said that he would leave that decision to President Bush and that he was going to focus on his job, like enforcing the Patriot Act and spying on civilians no doubt.
