Off topic, but I thought you'd want a heads up. The AP is reporting this:
WASHINGTON Mar 23, 2007 (AP)— Attorney General Alberto Gonzales approved plans to fire several U.S. attorneys in a November meeting, according to documents released Friday that contradict earlier claims that he was not closely involved in the dismissals.
The Nov. 27 meeting, in which the attorney general and at least five top Justice Department officials participated, focused on a five-step plan for carrying out the firings of the prosecutors, Justice Department officials said late Friday.
There, Gonzales signed off on the plan, which was crafted by his chief of staff, Kyle Sampson. Sampson resigned last week amid a political firestorm surrounding the firings.
The documents indicated that the hour-long morning discussion, held in the attorney general's conference room, was the only time Gonzales met with top aides who decided which prosecutors to fire and how to do it."

Gonzo's done. Now the case should be fairly easy to make that if Abu lied about his role in the purge, Miers and Rove MUST testify publicly under oath to Congress about their own roles in the purge.

I never mind the tips.
I just sat down and it came up on the top thirty Yahoo AP stories.
My first question would be, who let this story out.
Friday document dump makes me think it was someone on Gonzales side trying to put it out at the least damaging point.
