On Wednesday, March 7, 2007, Mr. Alberto R. Gonzales wrote an article entitled: "They lost my confidence", which can be read here. You say: "it was for reasons related to policy, priorities and management - what have been referred to broadly as "performance-related" reasons - that seven U.S. attorneys were asked to resign last December.".

I disagree, Mr. Gonzales. You CLAIM these US Attorneys were "asked to resign" because of "preformance-related" issues, but it appears as if they were replaced because they did not "toe the political line"! This is inexcusable for the Justice Department to put Political pressure on these Prosecutors.

Just because you lick the shoes of Bush, Cheney and Rove and the rest of their thugs, I don't think we need to introduce politics into the courtroom.

USA TODAY had it right in their Opinion: "Historically, few U.S. attorneys have been dismissed by a president in the middle of their terms. That's a worthy precedent, one that inspires public confidence that the justice system is working properly and ensures that a few good men and women don't become victims of political vendettas."

You, Mr. Gonzales, have lost MY confidence!
