WASHINGTON – With a hug and words of high praise, President Bush named Alberto Gonzales as attorney general on Wednesday, elevating the administration’s most prominent Hispanic to a highly visible post in the war on terrorism.
“His sharp intellect and sound judgment have helped shape our policies in the war on terror,” Bush said of the man who has served as the White House’s top lawyer over the past four years.
In an announcement in the Roosevelt Room of the White House, Bush touched on Gonzales’ personal story — a boy who grew up poor in a family of eight children in a two-bedroom house in Texas — and now is in line for a Cabinet post.
