The unasked question that bothers me to think about is this. What about the other 84? We are making a big deal about the 9 attorneys general who have been fired for not playing ball with the GOP. But 84 attorneys were not fired. Do we not now need an investigation into what cases they are prosecuting, since it is pretty clear that they are considered by the administration to be "on the team."

Certainly the recent testimony of former deputy attorney general James Comey about the trip of Alberto Gonzales and Andrew Card to the intensive care hospital ward of John Ashcroft to try to get approval of wire tapping that the justice department clearly considered illegal, is a new low point in the tactics of this administration. John Ashcroft is about as far to the right as you can get in this country, and from what might have been his deathbed (in his mind at the time), he refused to approve such a thing. Comey is also a conservative repub and refused to go along. Note that after the 2004 election Ashcroft was pushed out in favor of Gonzales who was the the preznit's go to guy in the hospital. All the attorneys general who were pushed out were good repubs also. They just couldn't go along in good conscience with the falsehoods they were asked to perpetrate. That's a good thing, right? Face it. In Gonzales mind he has never done anything wrong because he has always done what the preznit has told him to do. The preznit has seized complete authority, a defacto martial law, overruling both the judicial and legislative branches of the government by his power as commander in chief in the never ending war against the enemy that is every where.

If you think the preznit plans to step aside in 20 months, you may be mistaken.

What have the other 84 been doing? Someone please ask that question.
