'The 2007 Experience -- Myths and Realities: explanation of the current incidents, with comparison of historical similarities and differences.'

A four hour symposium with the firing USA in Seattle this month:

Joining McKay will be David C. Iglesias, the former U.S. attorney for New Mexico, and Paul K. Charlton, the former prosecutor for Arizona. McKay, Iglesias and Charlton are three of the most controversial firings of the eight ousted prosecutors, because they were either conducting sensitive investigations of Republicans or under fire for not prosecuting Democrats around the time of their dismissals on Dec. 7. All three were also contacted by members of Congress or their staff at a sensitive time regarding ongoing criminal corruption investigations.

The four-hour symposium could spark sharp criticism of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and the White House for alleged politicization of the Justice Department. One session is titled: "The 2007 Experience -- Myths and Realities: explanation of the current incidents, with comparison of historical similarities and differences."

This is open to the public as noted in the information on the University's catalog of events with information on how to attend:

The controversy surrounding the Administration's recent replacement of eight U.S. attorneys has revealed many misconceptions and disagreements concerning both the President's authority concerning these public officials and their obligations respecting Administration policy and objectives. This program, which should be of interest to members of the general public in addition to attorneys, will examine these and other questions from the viewpoints of former U.S. attorneys, political scientists and constitutional law scholors.[*]* General Public (including attorneys NOT seeking CLE credits) $110.00

Despite this symposium will spark criticisms from the Attorney General's office and concerns for Congress in this ongoing investigation, these firing USAs are no longer employed by the DOJ. And they are now private citizens. I find it amazing that President of the United States is allowed to leak classified and confidential NIE documents to the public (declassified the documents on July 18, 2003 , four days after Novak's article leaking Plame's name) and stated that the public has a right to know.
