Attorney General Alberto Gonzales on Wednesday warned federal judges not to meddle in cases involving national security.

Gonzales said federal judges are not "equipped to make decisions about" actions the president takes in the name of preserving national security.
"A judge will never be in the position to know what is in the national security interest of the country," Gonzales said.
Gonzales added that the judiciary should show deference to the executive branch when national security is involved, because, unlike the Bush administration, judges "don't have embassies around the world gathering up information."
"I try to imagine myself being a judge," Gonzales said. "What do I know about what is going on in Afghanistan or Guantanamo?"
