Reply #21: I was just reading someplace else that we may have the Patriot Act to blame for this!

According to a poster on another site, perhaps the reason for all of these forced resignations is that under the newly signed Patriot Act, U.S. Attorney appointees no longer have to be approved by the Senate as they used to be. Think about that for a minute! If Bush now puts in political yes men/women in these positions around the country instead of decently qualified law enforcement people, not only could we have people moved in to these positions looking to aid Bushco's coverup every place, but the quality of individuals which will have a general effect on all federal crimes being prosecuted and have them prosecuted in a more partisan manner! This is potentially huge folks! We need to get the word out! And once these people are forced out, it will be very hard to repair the damage once it's been done.
