The headline makes it appear that Fitzgerald was being considered as one of the attorneys to fire. It's clear from the article that this was never the case.
Sensationalism does inflame, but it does not inform. Cherry picking the worst aspect of the story is the same as slanting it to intentionally mislead the reader. This is intellectual dishonesty, and does a severe disservice to those who strive for civil dialog.
I give high marks to Sampson. While I disagree with virtually all his opinions and judgements, I appreciate his candor and honesty. These qualities are so rare these days, we forget what it's like to have an open government. Sampson should be applauded, not castigated - even if we do end up reversing everything he and Gonzales' team did.
