POPSThe Head of Alberto Gonzales What's interesting isn't that Gonzales was involved in firing eight US Attorneys, but rather that at the time, The Attorney General plan to appoint interim replacements and potentially avoid Senate confirmation by leaving an interim U.S. Attorney in place for the remainder of the Bush administration. How this happen? The Department sought and essentially was given new authority under a little known provision in the PATRIOT Act Reauthorization to appoint interim appointments who not subject to Senate confirmation and who could remain in place for the remainder of the Bush administration.

This has not happened. We continue to believe that an independent international body to monitor compliance with the Geneva conventions and other humanitarian standards in conflict is urgently needed. With reliable data, those voices that speak out for civilians trapped in conflict might be able to lessen the tragic human cost of future wars."

POPSRumsfeld's Personal Aide attacks his Post War Planning Stephen Herbits, a lawyer and longtime Rumsfeld friend going back to 1967. Herbits had been one of Rumsfeld's civilian special assistants during his first Pentagon tour.
