Salon.com has a pretty interesting article by Sidney Blumenthal about where Alberto Gonzales fits in the Bush White House, Dick Cheney, and Karl Rove, The Three Stooges.
"Bush cannot afford to have Gonzales resign or be removed. Gonzales'
leaving would ratchet up the administration's political crisis to an
intense level. Bush could not nominate a replacement without responding
to the Senate Judiciary Committee's inevitable request for information
on every matter that he has attempted to keep secret. On every
unresolved and electrified issue the Senate would demand documents --
the entire cache on the development of policy since 2001 on torture,
the gutting of the Civil Rights Division, the U.S. attorneys and much
more. Only Gonzales' perpetuation in office holds back the deluge."
