Meanwhile the Senate Judiciary Committee have put off its vote on Gonzales. Democrats accused the nominee of stonewalling as he has refused to answer numerous questions about his role in building the legal framework that led to the torture of detainees at Abu Ghraib. In newly released written answers to questions from Senators, Gonzales repeatedly declined to give responses. According to the Washington Post he wrote the words “I am not at liberty to disclose” at least 10 times. He wrote “I do not recall” or “I have no recollection” six times and he used the phrase “I have no present knowledge” seven times.
