Liberals are reviewing claims that as Bush's legal counsel in Texas, Gonzales on clemency pe titions '’repeatedly failed to ap praise the governor of crucial is sues in the cases at hand: ineffec tive counsel, conflict o f interest, mitigating evidence, even actual evidence of innocence." Gonzales drew criticism after the terrorist attacks in 2001 when he wrote a memo in which Bush claimed the right to waive anti torture law and international trea ties prov iding protections to pris oners of war. That position drew fire from human rights groups, who said it helped lead to the type of abuses uncovered in the Abu Ghraib prison scandal. I A P)— The road to White House counsel Alberto G on/ales confir mation as the first Hispanic U.S. attorney general may run through two controversial places: the noto rious Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq and Texas's death row. Although most senators expect President Bush's longtime friend and White House lawyer to be con- finned as the 80th U.S. attorney general to replace John Ashcroft, Democrats plan to use a hearing on his nomination to press for answers on White House decisions they think led to the Iraqi prisoners scan dal. Death penalty opponents also want Gonzales questioned on how the Justice Department will apply' the federal death penalty given Gonzales' time in Texas as adviser to then-Gov. Bush.

No Parole for Family Killer (A P )— Edward Morris, the north Portland man who killed his pregnant wife and three children and left their bodies in a snowy forest two years ago, was sentenced to four consecutive life terms in prison on Monday. Morris, 39, avoided a possible death sentence by promising not to appeal the life term s in a plea agree ment reached in September. Tillamook County Circuit Judge David Hantke re minded him there will be no parole and "no mitigation o f sentence of any kind.” The bodies of Morris’ wife, Renee, 31, and their children, Bryant, 10, Alexis, 8 and Jonathan, 4. were found Dec. 21,2002, in the snow near a logging road about 30 miles east of Tillamook by elk hunters and police.
