    Purge

    A menacing (petulant)letter sent by the Department of Fraud, eh? I've been warned against the over-use of the term "Kafkaesque," but that sure seems Kafkaesque to me. What might be needed is an old-fashioned purge of the entire Washington office of the DOJ. A few good people might be sacrificed among the scores of scoundrels, but how else do you solve the problem of the weird turn that the DOJ has taken in the last few years?
