In Washington, an internal Justice Department probe has faulted former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales for mishandling classified information. The Justice Department inspector general says Gonzales violated security rules by keeping highly sensitive files at his home and office. The documents related to the National Security Agency’s wiretapping program and the administration’s secret interrogation of prisoners in the so-called war on terror. The inspector general also revealed he referred Gonzales’ action to the Justice Department for Gonzales’ possible indictment , but officials refused to press charges.
