Sometimes the most interesting and relevant articles are found in out-of-the-way places. So, it is with the Justice Department report on the firing of U.S. Attorneys by Gonzales and Co. It took the Toledo Blade's Marilou Johanek to write about the report issued this past week. The report tells us what many knew: the firing of some of the prosecutors was solely politically motivated. Couple this with reports of hiring new attorneys using litmus tests and you have a Department of Justice that is just like most of our government, an irresponsible, unethical agency that is driven by winning and only by winning.
Is Mukasey changing that ethos?
