| Description | WASHINGTON (CNN) -- In an attempt to answer his critics, attorney general nominee Alberto Gonzales plans to tell the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday that he will abide by international treaties if he is confirmed.
"Wherever we pursue justice -- from the war on terror to corporate fraud to civil rights -- we must always be faithful to the rule of law," Gonzales says in a draft copy of his statement obtained by CNN.
"I want to make very clear that I am deeply committed to the rule of law."
Gonzales, who was White House counsel during the first Bush administration, has faced a torrent of criticism for his role in approving administration policies, including a controversial August 2002 Justice Department memo dealing with Afghanistan detainees.
