Josh Marshall makes the point that the US attorney scandal has severly weakened both Sen. Pete Domenici (six-term Republican Senator from New Mexico) and Rep. Heather Wilson (Two term Republican congressperson from Albuquerque, NM.) have been severely weakened politically by the lack of ethics they demonstratyed when they called US attorney Iglesias and tried to intimidate him into issueing indictments of Democrats just before what was anticipated to be a close election in November.
There is also a discussion of Carol Lam, U.S. attorney of San Diego, CA because she was getting to close to Rep. Jerry Lewis (CA - R) for his corruption.
These are two of the strongest pieces of evidence that the firings of the US attorneys are about trying to hide the unethical conduct of the (Republican) office of the Attorney General rather than any simple "personnel" issues.
