Obama should make sure that David Iglesias gets reappointed
to his old US Attorney post in New Mexico.

Iglesias is a Republican, but he is an honorable man, and his refusal to go along with the Republicans' attempts to use the DoJ to harrass Democrats is what got him fired from that position. His willingness to go public about the misuse of the DoJ for partisan purposes helped get rid of Gonzales and will probably help eventually to put some Republcian criminals behind bars--maybe even Karl Rove, who was in that mess up to his eyebrows.

2. I was thinking the same thing.
I have a feeling Obama will hire the best of the best whether they are Repug, Dem, Independent or other.

3. James Comey, too
He's the one who told the story of Gonzalez in Ashcroft's hospital room.

And the one who refused to go along with Gonzo's plan.

4. I just think it would be poetic justice for Iglesias to get his old job back. nt
