    Can Alberto spell M-I-N-C-E-M-E-A-T

    Which is what any moderately competent cross-examiner will make of his tortured, halting and lame attempts to justify not just the firing - but the lying about the firing - of US Attorneys.

    Story of the day: Part of the reason given for the termination of David Iglesias - who I just learned was the model for the Tom Cruise character in A Few Good Men - was his absence from his office.

    Apparently, Iglesias is still a reserve military officer - his absences were based on required military service - and to fire him based on honoring of his miltary commitments is a violation of USERRA (The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act).

    These idiots shoot themselve in the foot at every opportunity!
