WASHINGTON (AP) --
A group of Senate Democrats called Wednesday for a special counsel to investigate whether Attorney General Alberto Gonzales perjured himself regarding the firings of U.S. attorneys and administration dissent over President Bush's domestic surveillance program.
''We ask that you immediately appoint an independent special counsel from outside the Department of Justice to determine whether Attorney General Gonzales may have misled Congress or perjured himself in testimony before Congress,'' four Democratic senators wrote in a letter Wednesday, according to a draft obtained by The Associated Press.
''It has become apparent that the Attorney General has provided at a minimum half-truths and misleading statements'' to the Judiciary Committee, they added.
''We do not make this request lightly.'' wrote Sens. Charles E. Schumer of New York, Dianne Feinstein of California, Russ Feingold of Wisconsin and Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island in a letter to Solicitor General Paul Clement.
Sen. Arlen Specter, the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee and former chairman, on Tuesday told Gonzales during his appearance before the panel that a special prosecutor might be needed.
''I do not find your testimony credible, candidly,'' Specter told Gonzales.

PS: Gonzales has been lying his ass off in sworn testimony before Congress. This should be a slam dunk.
