President Bush defends Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez from criticism from both the left and right:
"I don't like it when a friend gets criticized. I'm loyal to my friends," Bush told reporters in Copenhagen, Denmark. "All of a sudden this fellow, who is a good public servant and a really fine person, is under fire. And so, do I like it? No, I don't like it, at all."

The president has made it painstakingly clear that he is loyal to his friends. His loyalty includes whether they commit crimes, are derelict in their duty or as in the case of Gonzalez, helped to manuever around international law and aid in the United States becoming distrusted by the world community. It is the height of hubris and arrogance; "don't mess with my friends."
