Bush says Gonzales testimony 'increased my confidence'
"The attorney general went up and gave a very candid assessment and answered every question he could possibly answer, honestly answer, in a way that increased my confidence in his ability to do the job," Bush said about Gonzales testimony last week to the Senate. The president offered his support to his longtime legal confidante during remarks in the Oval Office after discussing the Iraq war with Gen. David Petraeus. Bush's comments come a day after Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter, the ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, called Gonzales testimony last week, 'very damaging.' -- CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney
