We have been warning of Gonzalez's insurgent/Anti-American ties since his nomination. He should be exiled to Cuba along with his terrorist comrades.

Hispanic Group Puts Weight Behind Gonzales
Rights Organization Wants to Work More Closely With Bush

The National Council of La Raza, the nation's largest Hispanic civil rights organization, embraced Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales at an awards ceremony last night, breaking with other civil rights organizations that have denounced Gonzales for his role in producing the administration memo that allowed harsh treatment of detainees overseas.

La Raza is not the only Hispanic civil rights organization employing that strategy. Another leading Hispanic rights organization, the League of United Latin American Citizens, strongly supports Gonzales.

"You have to understand that we've had a long-standing relationship with the attorney general," said Brent Wilkes, LULAC's national executive director. "He's been an individual who's been very involved in the community, with the United Way, Big Brothers/Big Sisters. He's constantly talking to LULAC. We've had an open-door policy."

At the dinner, Gonzales was greeted with light applause. In his five-minute speech, he reached out to La Raza, saying, "I . . . have this organization to thank for support of my nomination for attorney general." He added that he and La Raza have not always agreed in the past but that both share a commitment to Latinos.

Last night's ceremony also highlighted the group's split with Latino organizations that are unhappy with Gonzales. Eugenio Arene, executive director of the Council of Latino Agencies, a Washington-based organization that represents Salvadorans, Nicaraguans and Guatemalans, and is affiliated with La Raza, said the move ignored the plight of Central Americans.

One Reporter's Opinion – The Attorney General and La Raza

It is this reporter's opinion that the newly appointed attorney general, Alberto Gonzales, is performing true to form. Soon after he accepted the office, the National Council of La Raza, the nation's largest Hispanic civil rights organization, honored him at an awards ceremony in a highly public move in the group's effort to alter its image as a left-leaning organization. Need we remind Gonzales that "La Raza" means "the race" – either you're with them or against them.
