Ms. Fisher got this job through a recess appointment, which President Bush used to bypass the Senate, where Carl Levin, Democrat of Michigan, had put a hold on her nomination over questions about her involvement in torture policies. There will be a strong burden on her and Mr. Gonzales to show Americans that politics are not playing a role in the case. The nation cannot afford another example of the way this Justice Department, under Mr. Gonzales and his predecessor, John Ashcroft, has let partisan politics trump prosecutorial judgment." http://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/05/opinion/05thu2.html?th&emc=th<BR/> <BR/>Too, the contrast you made to the Clinton Justice Department seems rather disingenuous; this report seems a wee bit more consistent with actual history: <BR/>http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/counsel/office/history.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
