BAGHDAD, Iraq — Attorney General Alberto Gonzales made a heavily guarded surprise visit to Iraq on Sunday, praising Iraqi’s commitment to democracy in the face of sustained deadly attacks by insurgents.
Gonzales, on his first trip to Iraq, said he chose the Independence Day weekend to show support for U.S. troops and Iraq’s nascent government. “We are doing a lot to promote democracy and the rule of law,” Gonzales said aboard an Air Force plane en route to the Middle East.
