A top aide to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales abruptly quit Friday, about two weeks after telling Congress she wouldn't testify about her role in federal prosecutors' firings. No immediate reason was given, but Monica Goodling's refusal to face Congress had intensified a controversy that threatens Gonzales' job. Goodling is at the controversy's center because her job may have made her best suited to explain any involvement by Karl Rove and other members of the president's political team in the firings.
