reality you are refering to?
If it was the email you linked to at the beginning of this thread, that email shows how involved Gonzales was in determing the mechanics of the firings, what it doesn't show is was pushing this at the white house. Could have been Gonzales, but I think Rove is still the much more likely candidate.
Either way, the white house pushed through set section in the 2nd patroit act that allowed them to do this and they used it.
Congress needs to be alot more determined not to let legislation slipped through like this again.
