So you have no faith in the system of federal Inspectors General at all? That they are independent of the political process?

Cool.

Oh, I forgot to list the firing of the US Attorney in the examples of how the Bush DoJ abused the process. The IG report concluded that there was significant evidence that political partisan considerations were an important factor in the removal of several US Attorneys....particularly in the case of David Iglesias, where they found evidence that complaints to Karl Rove by New Mexico Republican political officials and party activists about how Iglesias was handling voter fraud cases (ie ACORN) led to Iglesias's removal (ie he was fired because he didnt do what the White House wanted, even though there was no evidence of voter fraud)

added:
IG report on the above, in case you or UG care to read it. It is not as titillating as UG's link about Reno.
