A Justice Department official threatened to take the "gloves off" and "retaliate" against the eight United States attorneys who were abruptly removed from their posts if they continued to speak publicly about the circumstances behind their dismissals, according to an email released late Monday sent to the fired prosecutors by one of their colleagues.
The email, a portion of which had been discussed during a Senate judiciary hearing two weeks ago, was written by H.E. "Bud" Cummins on February 20 and sent to US Attorneys Dan Bogden, John McKay, Carol Lam, David Iglesias and Paul Charlton immediately after Cummins had a somewhat heated exchange with Mike Elston, a top aide to Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty, about comments Cummins had made that were published in the Washington Post on February 18.
More on the story.

What country is this? Are we a democratic society? What happened to the first amendment?
And this WH wants to turn Iraq into a democratic society?

Hello Patriot Girl and Chicago Native:
We are all busy. So, pop in anytime to read the lastest.
The answer to the question: what kind of country that we live in. Well, the Founding Fathers would roll over their grave to see all their hard work and sacrifice go up in flames because of the Administration. We have to take back our country and take back our freedoms that were taken away from the Gerbil. If King George III be overthrown by the people, so can this King George replica of the USA.
