SUBJECT: MEDIA REACTION; ATTORNEY GENERAL GONZALEZ'S RESIGNATION; 
INTERNET WATCH OF ALLEGED CASTRO DEATH 08/28/07 
 
 
1. SUMMARY STATEMENT 
 
Key international stories today include the implications of Attorney 
General Alberto Gonzles' resignation; and the alleged Fidel Castro 
death watch on the Internet. 
 
2. OPINION PIECES AND EDITORIALS 
 
- "The White House's last line of defense" 
 
Hugo Alconada Mon, Washington-based correspondent for 
daily-of-record "La Nacisn," comments (08/28) "More than eight 
high-ranking government officials have recently left the Bush 
administration... 
 
"Whether Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez stayed or fell took on 
special importance... He was one of the last members left of Bush's 
close entourage and he had arrived at the White House in 2001. And, 
furthermore, he was one of the last 'big walls' separating the 
president and his VP, Dick Cheney, from the Democrats' 'artillery.' 
 
"With Rove, Gonzales, Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Lewis Libby, among 
others, out of the government, from now until 2008 presidential 
elections, the opposition's offensive will aim directly at the 
president. 
 
"Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said yesterday that the 
investigation did not end with '(Gonzales') resignation. The US 
Congress should go to the bottom of this mess and follow the facts 
where they lead, into the White House.' 
 
"Reid was referring to the ongoing legislative investigation over 
the controversial removal of eight federal prosecutors for alleged 
political and electioneering reasons. However, he was also referring 
to something broader and more profound - the presidential powers 
Bush attributed to himself. 
 
"Gonzales was 'Mr. Yes', the man who never said no to a request from 
Bush... In Gonzales' view, the September 11 attacks modified the US 
reality. The government embarked then on a 'war on terrorism' and 
amended its constitutional structure in a way that set off 
short-circuits within the US and abroad. 
 
"In January 2002, civil rights defenders repudiated (Gonzales') view 
that some parts of the Geneva Convention about the treatment of war 
prisoners were 'obsolete' and that some of its guidelines were 
'picturesque' and, therefore, should not be implemented. There was 
just a short distance between this and the creation and defense of 
the Guantnamo prison or the Abu Ghraib scandal." 
 
- "Harassed by scandals, US General Attorney resigns" 
 
Ana Baron, Washington-based correspondent for leading "Clarn," 
writes (08/28) "Attorney General Alberto Gonzles, a personal friend 
of US President George W. Bush, resigned yesterday, in one more sign 
of how weakened the Republican administration is and of the growing 
power of Democrats. 
 
"Gonzlez was charged with having legally justified torture and a 
no-warrant wiretapping program and he was in the middle of a scandal 
for having organized the political removal of eight federal 
prosecutors. Democrats had been asking for his resignation for 
several weeks. However, during Bush's latest press conference, he 
again said he still trusted Gonzles... 
 
"... The truth is that since they became the majority on Capitol 
Hill, Democrats are not willing to pardon anyone who played an 
important role in planning the invasion of Iraq. And much less the 
man who, in their view, infringed on human and civil rights to 
justify the torture of Iraqi prisoners in Abu Ghraib, the arrest of 
suspects in clandestine prisons and the establishment of special 
courts. 
 
"Nonetheless, in the midst of a presidential election campaign and 
fearful of been labeled as 'weak and cowardly' in the war on 
terrorism, Democrats waited until the scandal over the purge of 
eight federal prosecutors broke out to launch an offensive against 
Gonzles." 
 
- "Death watch blogging" 
 
Liberal, English-language "Buenos Aires Herald" (08/28) carries an 
opinion piece by Paul Scheltus, who writes "It's hardly news to 
suggest that blogs, or the more explanatory word web-logs, are an 
important source of news... 
 
"An example that goes a long way to showing the importance of this 
 
new medium is the recent Castro death watch... The most insistent 
and by far the best known blogger was Prez Hilton, a Cuban-American 
whose real name is Mario Armando Lavandeira who claimed with '100 
percent' certainty that Castro had died... 
 
"... The US participation on this virtual platform is overwhelming 
for reasons of sheer wealth. But, although horribly expensive and 
strictly controlled, Internet in Cuba itself has made online 
commentary possible for those who live under its severe socialist 
rule. One of those who claims to blog out of Cuba is 'Karamchand' 
who related yesterday that as far as he (or she) knew, Fidel was not 
dead. According to the author of Bitcora Cuban blog, the dictator 
had undergone a tracheotomy and was in a critical state... 
 
"This development is encouraging to say the least. The possibility 
to exchange information freely is one of the best checks on power 
there is. If this trend continues and more and more Latinos manage 
to get online and in contact, soon it might not even matter if the 
likes of Fidel Castro live or die. He, and his peers across the 
region, be they leftist power-hungry presidents or rightwing 
unflinching state governors, could simply be left behind."
