good as far as it goes...where are the questions on this subject that the WSJ asked Alberto Gonzales as he was seeking AG status....Did any senator confront these issues, during any congressional hearing? Was the underfunding premeditated to play nice with corrupt politicians and businesses? What do the fired A's G have to say? Legal experts? Presidential candidates? This story needs extensive research and a commitment to satisfy an 7th grade ethics debate club topic quire. Lies about underfunding of D of J due to war are plane dumb, like advice to not stay home and be afraid ...go shopping during a orange alert! There suggestion are an affront to any thinking person's intelligence, thusly reducing the entire reports credibility.

This is another problem which has been carefully kept quiet. We cannot blame the war n Iraq for everything, and let us not start doing that, because the inference in this story is that morale was low under the Gonzalez regime. However, the fact is that the AG office has to be funded and who is going to pay for it. You know the answer to that one only too well. So let us try and unload a very expensive war and try to reduce our costs.

this is an informative story with justice department statistics and comments from the federal attorneys' offices. it is also a familiar story in attributing lack of sufficient funds to the priority of our on-going fighting in iraq. what's missing are the questions with congressional and administration officials about how to replace value on the needs within our borders
