Oh to have been a fly on the wall overhearing chats and reading memos and emails bewtween Counseler Miers and Domestic Counsel Rove re which venues needed to be targeted for US attorney changes. Ditto re communications between the Decider and Rove. Ditto re communications between the Veep and Rove. How is it possible for anyone to believe that Fredo Gonzales was the driving force behind these firings. Is there anywhere any suggestion that Fredo has ever leaned back when the Decider or the Veep or Rumsfeld or Rove wanted to do something illegal or outrageous. Fredo's value is that he is the Great Enabler for the Great Decider, dismissing legal and moral concerns about torture, eavesdropping, etc. He is worse than a mob lawyer. Mob lawyers had to be concerned about those pesky US attorneys, district attorneys, FBI and DEA agents, unfriendly judges, etc. Fredo and the Decider had no such problems since they were on top of the power structure, not outside it. He is a disgrace who has cast a shadow of suspicion over all US attorneys and their DOJ string-pullers. Like his boss, he has done much harm to the nation.
