Kohl still pushing for answers on Biskupic

Steven Biskupic was a federal attorney from Milwaukee that the US Justice Department considered firing. Senator Kohl is trying to push for answers. Kohl asked US attorney general Alberto Gonzales why Biskupic was on the list to get fired and then later removed. Sen. Kohl and Sen. Feingold have written the state department for documents pertaining to this, but requests have gone unanswered. The department claims that the request in under review, but I think there is corruption. The fact that the request is under review signals to me that there is something to hide. If there wasn't anything to hide, the department would just turn over the documents

although firing federal attorneys is not illegal, it seems as though a lot of unethical activity was happening over at the justice dept. the more and more this process has been drawn out the more troubling circumstances seem to be brought to light, such as in this article. i'm surprised the bush administration is willing to put up with this headache considering their considerable unpopularity. but we all saw how long Rumsfeld was kept around.
