Oh, come on!
If the Bush Administration is so keen to be "helpful" in this whole "fired prosecutors" business, why won't they agree to Congress' demand that the testimony be public and under oath?
Um, you're just making yourselves look more guilty, Karl & Harriet...

The Senate has already voted (94-2) to cancel the provision of the Patriot Act that allowed the attorney general to appoint U.S. attorneys without Senate confirmation. I need to see the headcount and find out how Arlen Specter, then Senate Judiciary's chair, voted. It was at his insistence that the loophole was added during USAPA reauthorization. Who knows what else those idiots shoved in there?
Also, I heard this on DEMOCRACY NOW! this morning: "The Congressional Research Service has just published a study examining the tenure of every U.S. attorney confirmed between 1981 and 2006. The study found the recent firings is unprecedented. During the 25-year period studied, the Senate confirmed 468 U.S. Attorneys. Only ten left office involuntarily for reasons other than a change in administration prior to the firings that took place in December. This means the Bush administration pushed out almost as many U.S. Attorneys in December as had been let go over the past 25 years."
Making history yet again -- love that W.
