What about the 93 that Janet "Child killer" Reno fired in 1993, any slackers in that bunch?? You make me laugh!!

Read the bios in the sidebar for these people. Not a slacker in the bunch and at least 6 of the 8 were put in the job by W. Awesome prosecution records Katrina fraud cases, several terrorism cases, immigration cases and improvements, Duke cunningham and his bunch, Balco case etc.
Maybe it's the highprofile some of these people had that was the problem?
I know if I was handed a justifiable reason to leave I'd have sucked it up, buried it in my resume and moved on. I think they deserve an honest answer rather than evasion. Preferably in private.

Why should Gonzales resign?? Janet Reno killed 17 Children in Waco Texas, she was in Charge when a FBI agent shot a 14 year old in the back as he ran away, Killed his mother the next day as she held a baby in her arms in Ruby Ridge. What about the little Gonzales boy who was ripped out of his Aunt's arms in Florida and sent back to Fidel's Commie Cuba. Did she resign after the "heinous" murder of these children???? NO.

Al Gonzales is an angel when compared to that Child murdering bitc*.

Sour grapes, nothing more nothing less. When Janet "Child killer" Reno fired all 93 U S attorney's in 1993 it was politics as usual. I don't remember CBS even making it news. These people serve at the will of any president when a new president comes in they know their jobs are probably ended. I ain't saying it's right, but that is just the way it is.

From what I've read, the firings went down on December 7th -Pearl Harbor Day ("A day that will live in infamy"). Aside from totally wrecking the holidays for those that were fired there does seem to be a really, really twisted sense of irony in choosing that day.

I am certainly glad I do not spend my day fetishing about "libs" and "Clinton."

Hasn't anyone considered investigating the US Attornies that obliously played ball with the Bush crowd and weren't fired. It would be interesting to see what they had to do to protect their jobs. This should make all recent prosecutions subject to review for undue political interference.

I'd hate to be in the position these people have been placed. It looks like a no win situation. Either give up your ethics and run the risk of being caught and accused of corruption or worse or run the risk of losing your appointment and be dragged through public humiliation and speculation without being given an open honest reason for the action. What horrible thing have they done?
The Mafia couldn't be more blackmailing. It leaves me wondering about the federal attys that KEPT their jobs. Have they "bent the rules" or worse?? How Many "went along" or "overlooked" or sold the Ameican people out to save their jobs?
Whether this was justified or not there's a lot of US citizens that have lost even more trust in what was labeled an "impartial" position and I'm sure a lot of bad guys that now think their replacements CAN BE BOUGHT.

I'm more concerned on the terrorism & corruption angle. I really don't think those 2 areas are separate and one can lead to another.
So far I've read that 2 of the highest terrorism and corruption attys have been fired. Doesn't that send the wrong message? There was a similar situation when the TOP Al Quaeda expert was fired shortly before 9/11 happened. Will it contribute to another horrendous disaster down the road???

You got that right!! We are about to see first hand, how badly the Fascist in the last congress dropped the ball AND we're going to see just how a congress is supposed to act. OVERSIGHT does not mean Rubber stamp everything they want. It's great to be alive right now though... watching a bunch of Nazi's twist in the wind is so much fun.
