Parroting TPM on U.S. Attorneys

Josh Marshall at TPM: "Gonzales comes a tiny bit clean on the McKay firing and reveals that Iglesias was added to the firing list on election day 2006."

Also, Paul Kiel analyzes the new Murray Waas story at the National Journal, which reports that "[t]he Bush administration has withheld a series of e-mails from Congress showing that senior White House and Justice Department officials worked together to conceal the role of Karl Rove in installing Timothy Griffin, a protégé of Rove's, as U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Arkansas." Seems a "senior executive branch official" is spilling some beans.
