Moreover, Justice is admitting they gave contradictory information as it relates to the firing one one attorney. They now admit one was let go because they wanted to give the job to a former Rove assistant. Why does there always seem to be a stench when Rove is in the vicinity?

Instead, there is constant finagling and justification, which inevitably leads to more trouble than simply facing the facts would have engendered. >>Why does there always seem to be a stench when Rove is in the vicinity?<< I don't know... did you see him hip hop dancing with Colin Mochrie? <a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/television/news/e3ie5b6dce3c8bb84ca4c8a2b36e7e898e4?imw=Y" target="_blank">http://www.hollywoodreporter.c om/hr/content_display/television/news/e3ie5b6dce3c8bb84ca4c8a2b36e7e898e4?imw=Y</a> and video: <a href="http://usatoday.feedroom.com/ifr_main.jsp?nsid=c74aab1f5:1119decb0c0:1483&fr_story=FEEDROOM187370&st=1175182285721&mp=WMP&cpf=true&fvn=9&fr=032907_113124_74aab1f5x1119decb0c0x1484&rdm=739930.3481566268" target="_blank">http://usatoday.feedroom.com/i fr_main.jsp?nsid=c74aab1f5:1119decb0c0:1483&fr_story=FEEDROOM187370&st=1175182285721&mp=WMP&cpf=true&fvn=9&fr=032907_113124_74aab1f5x1119decb0c0x1484&rdm=739930.3481566268</a>

That's appalling, but it indicates the mindset in the AGs office. A US attorney has real and significant power to indict, and to essentially ruin a person's life, dragging them through courts for years, costing them potentially millions, and ruining their reputation. This administration has shown that they have no respect for ethical boundaries, and would certainly use their power for political payback. Gonzales has to go. From presiding over the 'torture memos' to this latest scandal, he's shown that he doesn't have the spine for the job, and will roll over and engage in any corrupt activity that bush wants. Which makes him perfect for bush, and wrong for everybody else.

Gonzales WAS in on the firing discussions according to Sampson.
