Thank you, David, for your courage and committment to justice and truth. Like many here, I hope for a return to a less-politicized DOJ that we all can be proud of as citizens of this great country.

I still hope that in the near future that we will get an independent investigation into the firings.

Knowing that this post will be read by probably no one, late as it is, just have to add my two cents.

Thank you David Iglesias for you honest answers. All that most of us really want is the truth from our representatives in government. We can only hope/wish that others would follow your example.

The abrupt dismissal of a veteran University of Alabama employee who blogged about the firing of seven US Attorneys has added a bizarre new twist to allegations that the state’s US Attorneys targeted political opponents for prosecution.

Roger Shuler — a high-profile blogger and leading critic of Alabama’s judicial system — has written extensively about alleged corruption among U.S. Attorneys for over a year. In particular, Shuler focused on two US Attorneys from his home state: Alice H. Martin of the Northern District and Leura G. Canary of the Middle District.

Betcha David would make one fine live-blogger. Hear tell pay isn’t so good though ;-)

The town is recovering from a devastating disaster, crippling really. The football team is trying to rebuild, replace their players lost in a plane crash. They have no chance of winning, but they play anyway, they carry on. They finally win a game and afterwards no one wants to leave the stadium. They just wnat to be together to remember how it was and how they can get back on their feet.
