In The Crisis Within AS notes, "The latest reporting on the DOJ scandal reveals something quite remarkable."
Actually, I think this whole episode is bone chilling. This is the kind of stuff that you expect in banana Republics.
Seriously - seriously! - the only thing missing from this putsch is Bush availing Gonzales, et. al. of a few "loyal" Marines for his trip to "persuade" Ashcroft, or some other means of "persuasion".
Oh, and this is also why, Senator Lindsey Graham, despite all his gifts, just continually gets it wrong. This is the President, 'the man', 'the big boss', to whom Senator Graham would like to defer the entire designation of "enemy combatant". He thinks the Executive should make that decision, without judicial meddling.
Just say, "No!" to Lindsey, please.
