Sen. Kyle is "disturbed". Another non-step in a non-direction by a slightly ruffled Repug. Those GOP Congressmen do not open their eyes until they feel Bush enter them from behind. Then they spill a little bile, choke and sputter, and go back for more. Get in line, Senator Kyle. Well well. Sen. Kyle is “disturbed”.

Jon Kyl (R-AZ) “was upset with Bush administration officials” over the forced resignation of U.S. attorney Paul Charlton, but the Justice Department quickly hushed his dissent. “I understand that Kyl is significantly disturbed over the Charlton issue,” Rebecca Seidel, a deputy assistant attorney general, wrote in an e-mail. “I am hoping that Kyl would not bring it up in an open hearing.” Great. The Justice Department advocates a policy of "hush," particularly among Republicans, from whom it expects loyalty to Bush at whatever cost. The cost is to open and transparent government. The Bush DOJ wouldn't expect the same from dem congressmen and women . . . but blasphamy should a republican express disgust . . . just how politicized is the Justice Department? Hey DOJ, you are not an arm of the executive branch . . . you are an equal branch . . . equally empowered to serve the American people, all of whom have a vested interest in transparent, impartial, democratic governance. It is clearly not in America's interest, whether you support Democrats, Republicans, Independents or any other party, to have a "unitary executive", particularly, one united with the judiciary branch of government. If the legislative branch joins the party (as it has during this executive administration) we have no democracy. Silence of dissent and distortion of the truth is the greatest threat to democracy today. Thanks dubya. I have seen the enemy, and it is you. Sen.
