While progressives focus on Attorney General Gonzales and hatch strategies for subpoenas to get him on the record, along with other Administration figures, including Karl Rove, it is time to look at the broader picture.

Alberto Gonzales represents a pattern.  Before him there was John Ashcroft just as, after Donald Rumsfeld finally stepped down as Defense Secretary, Thomas Gates, who is carrying out the same policies in a less confrontational way, replaced him.  The list of grievances never end.  

The focus is the same.  Contact progressives and rally them around the cause of the moment targeting that specific individual.  The questions that remain are:  Who is in charge?  Does anything change if targeted individuals leave?  

The forces of Cheney and Bush continue unleashing a tenacious, full court press. A reactionary neocon agenda adhering to the Project for the New American Century guidelines will remain in place.  The foot soldiers might change but the game plan remains the same.
