This is about as fair and balanced as opinion writing gets. The editors are transparent about their motives (compare with, say, Fox News) and persuasive in their reasoning. My only quibble: This editorial should have been written two weeks ago, when it was already evident AG Gonzales had all these liabilities.

I base my rating on the title. This editorial offers no detail or acknowledgment of the real involvement of the ostrich like media/editor class.. for our being stuck with the author of torture as top lawyer of the land. The facts of incompetence are out, the public feeling of shame (even for the far right) is building! Some say the firings of meritorious appointees is a impeachable offense.

Like every Republican calling for Gonzales' resignation, more concerned that the cover-up was bad than that there was something to cover up. But of course they are right that he ought to go.
