It's pretty outrageous and bears closer scrutiny. Here's the link:

him that LTG Charles Jacoby's (Bush Afghanistan Torture Cover-up General) still couldn't control the Command Center employee that assaulted John and I in a public store. I do blame Assistant USA Gary Guarino and his boss Patriot Act US Attorney Nelson Cohen though for apparently approving of it.
I KNOW why Nelson Cohen couldn't handle the investigation of Stevens and the Public Integrity Section out of DC is. It's a no brainer after spending five minutes on the phone with him (and chronicled here on TPM). Is he capable of an honest, forthright, unbiased investigation. With any luck the replacement we will get in 113 or so days that has to pass Democrat controlled confirmation will be a professional US Attorney and not a Bush Consigliere.
I guess we need to donate more....to the Democrats. Diane Benson is already running against Young...we need a good candidate against Stevens. And, not the equally corrupt Mayor of Anchorage Begich.
Come on Alaska, take your state back!!!!!!
