WASHINGTON — President Bush stood by embattled his attorney general, Alberto Gonzales, today over the firing of eight U.S. attorneys, but acknowledged that he was "not happy" over the Justice Department's misleading statements to Congress. .
"Mistakes were made. And I'm frankly not happy about them," Bush told reporters at a news conference in Mexico on the final stop of a week-long trip to Latin America.
"Any time anybody goes up to Capitol Hill, they've got to make sure they fully understand the facts and how they characterize the issue to members of Congress," he said. "And the fact that both Republicans and Democrats feel like that there was not straightforward communication troubles me and it troubles the attorney general. So he took action, and he needs to continue to take action."
