If true, this article seems to strongly imply that National Journal has scooped information about the Griffin appointment that could fan the flames of the US Attorney firings matter. Pity this comes from an anonymous official within the Bush administration. It would be more compelling if the documents were being published...one can dream.

Yes, this is good journalism! Finally, I get to read an actual news story! Well researched, the breadcrumbs followed... reminds me of the seventies with the Washington Post on Watergate. All I can say is it's about goddamn time! Thanks to the "senior executive branch official" who holds country above party, and the intrepid reporter and paper who gets off the president's lap, thenks to them, I have a tiny bit more faith in our system.
