But despite that, his office continues to accrue important powers. Recently, the FISA bill took oversight powers from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court and gave them to the attorney general. And next month, a new rule will come into effect that gives the attorney general new power over state death penalty cases.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.tpmmuckraker.com/archives/003917.php"><div align="center"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/XWFrys82FJQ" height="329" width="400" wmode="opaque" quality="high" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.tpmmuckraker.com/archives/003917.php">In June, former U.S. Attorney for Arizona Paul Charlton <A href="http://www.tpmmuckraker.com/archives/003545.php">testified</A> about the nonchalance with which Gonzales' Justice Department views executing U.S. citizens.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.tpmmuckraker.com/archives/003917.php">After the Department overruled Charlton, deciding to seek the death penalty, he asked to talk it over with the leadership. He spoke with Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty and was subsequently told that McNulty had spent a "significant amount of time" with Gonzales on the issue -- as much as "5 to 10 minutes."</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/6A8F0A73-35B2-444D-BFB8-59583445ABDB/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
