Kudos

A good, succinct editorial from Alabama, concerning the going-ons at the DOJ and the very suspicious prosecution of the former Governor, found via Scott Horton.

Sample quote:
Something smells bad here. It smells bad even when one discounts the shenanigans involving the firings of U.S. attorneys across the nation and the hiring of DOJ personnel based on their ideological beliefs.

It smells even worse when one considers that a man may sit in prison today because his political enemies may have arranged his prosecution for political reasons.

It is a sobering thought to consider, the kind of thing often associated with third-world dictatorial regimes and not with a free, democratic nation.

A good summary on how the Bush administration operates, by someone who was very close to the action. See also the review of the book at the NYT.
