COMMENTS: MIDTERMS
Only CBS assigned a correspondent to Senate hearings into the Justice Department's decision to fire eight US Attorneys. Sharyl Attkisson pointed out that federal prosecutors are usually replaced when a Presidential term ends, not when it has two more years to run. The former prosecutors testified "they endured unprecedented and improper pressure from Congressional Republicans to prosecute cases for political purposes." The Bush Administration's defense was that the eight were fired "for performance not politics."
