The Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee have sent a letter to the Inspector General requesting an investigation into Alberto Gonzales' 12 hour gap.

....it appears, that not only did DOJ personnel countenance a 12-hour delay in notifying White House staff to preserve all records (while the White House Chief of Staff was given a heads up of the existence of the investigation), but that the DOJ also appears to have ignored repeated entreaties from the CIA to initiate a law enforcement investigation into this matter several months before hand. We would therefore urge you to examine the extent that this course of conduct and other delays by the Department are consistent with standards of prosecutorial conduct and integrity.

    Think about how much can happen in twelve hours. Quite reminiscent of similar gap in Iran Contra when Meese let North and NSC get a head start on the shred fest. And from that time period who do we have in the Mid East now? Elliot Abrams, pardoned felon. Not to mention former Ambassador to Iraq John Salvador Option Negroponte, now National Security Director.
