Report: Gonzales aide resigns

Monica Goodling refused to testify before Congress about the prosecutor purge.
By Tim Grieve

Goodling's resignation letter does not provide any reason for her departure, but she was sufficiently implicated in problems over last year's prosecutor purge that she has refused to testify before Congress on the grounds that doing so could implicate her in criminal activity.
