When Justice Department official William Moschella was asked why the Department had fired U.S. Attorney David Iglesias, he told Congress that “Iglesias had delegated to his first assistant the overall running of the office. And, quite frankly, U.S. attorneys are hired to run the office.” Internal documents from the time show officials planning to accuse Iglesias of being an "absentee landlord" to justify his firing.
Iglesias did, in fact, leave the office for 45 days each year. But that's because he's a a captain in the Navy Reserve -- something that was no secret to his superiors.
So now the Office of Special Counsel is investigating whether Iglesias was wrongfully terminated due to his reserve duty, Newsweek reports. It is against the law for employers to discriminate against members of the U.S. military.

There is no law as Al has lied under oath with success. The Attorney General now stands for crime and corruption. As for Iglesias serving his duty well does SUPPORT OUR TROOPS come to mind. Karl and Meirs overlooked that one but Iglesias will be treated like our injured troops at Walter Reed. Bush sends injured troops back to Iraq two,three and four times until they die. If they don't die in Iraq he makes sure they come home and die from injuries by letting them live with mice/roaches/mold and if that's not enough he lets the maggots eat at their open wounds. So Iglesias there are new rules for military soldiers it's called who cares. Our troops are just used to get money for oil, pay offs and other crimes plus drilling oil right for Hallibuton.
Jackie,
The White House, according to OSC and Iglesias violated Title 38, United States Code:
CHAPTER 43--EMPLOYMENT AND REEMPLOYMENT RIGHTS OF MEMBERS OF THE UNIFORMED SERVICES
SPB those laws don't mean anything anymore. The new laws are what ever the King says or should I say Karl Rove says. America has been invaded and taken over by this Crime Team. The old US is gone. If the people don't stop this it's all over. Gonzo is having enough dealing with learning how to speak in public he can't handle reading the law.
The same way that the people got Nixon out despite Nixon was manipulating U.S. law so can the American people dump the Gerbil and the Veep. Yes, I am aware that the Gerbil has changed the U.S. law but you tend to forget that international law is different. We have no idea how many laws that the Gerbil has broken internationally. And thank goodness for Waxman and many of the honest officials that will fight the Gerbil which we haven't had in 6 1/2 years. But as you said, the people have to stand up and demand no more abuse power from the Gerbil and send a clear message to him called impeachment.
