Why is this surprising. Bush is for it. Gonzales works for Bush. I'd be surprised if he said anything else.

I don't know why anyone would be surprised by it. It's more like rubbernecking.

As far as I could tell, Ashcroft was not a supporter of the AWB.

Well, he could say that as a private citizen, he sees no need for it, and enumerate all the reasons it's unnecessary and pointless, but that as an officer of the Executive Branch, he would faithfully and to the best of hi s ability enforce any law enacted by Congress.

But many here have been arguing that Bush wasn't really for it, but was using his supposed "support" to defuse the issue for both the 2000 and 2004 elections. Elections are no longer an issue for Bush.
