"Mistakes Were Made"

Mistakes were made? What kind of lame ass excuse is that? Please Mr. Gonzales, stand up and be an adult and say "I fired these people for X reason". Don't pussy out on us and tell us that "mistakes were made". What really burns my ass is that there's already Democrats who's blowing this WAY out of proportion. For example: Senator Schumer states: "The latest revelations proved beyond any reasonable doubt that there has been an unprecedented breach of trust, abuse of power and misuse of the Justice Department. And that is very serious and very important."

What Senator Schumer DOESN'T tell you is that when Bill Clinton came into office, he fired ALL 93 attorney's, not just 8. Hillary Clinton is calling for Gonzales' head as well (way to come to the party late Hillary), but it's not because of Gonzales' questioning habus corpus, but because of the recent firings.

But check this out:

When Clinton's husband took office in 1993, one of the first actions his attorney general took was to remove every U.S. attorney. Clinton was asked how this was different from the termination of eight U.S. attorneys last December.

"There is a great difference," Clinton said. "When a new president comes in, a new president gets to clean house. It's not done on a case-by-case basis where you didn't do what some senator or member of Congress told you to do in terms of investigations into your opponents. It is 'Let's start afresh' and every president has done that."

Sorry sweety, but you're wrong. Every President hasn't fired every US attorney. While it may be common to "clean house", firing of the entire US attorney's across the nation is a bit more than "cleaning house", it's getting rid of political enemies.
