Incompetence: Bush Legacy at FBI, Justice

Just when President Bush seemed to have beaten back the Congressional defeatists on Iraq, along comes his own Justice Department to undermine some hard-won antiterror policy gains. The incompetence at Justice is getting to be expensive for Presidential power.

Wellllllllllllll, another way of saying that is the incompetency Albatrosses are coming home to roost about the administrations neck.

The Bureau must secure its rightful place as the premier counter-espionage and counter-terrorist organization in the United States. It must continue to serve as a resource and training center for law enforcement. And it must do all this with a firm commitment to safeguarding the constitutional rights of our citizens. - G. W. Bush

Whoopsy.
Interesting though is that the WSJ opines the following:

Mr. Gonzales had every right to put new attorneys in place. They are political appointees who serve at the pleasure of the President, and Senators are wrong to suggest that once appointed they should operate independent of Justice supervision.

That's not what their fearless leader says,

Like the Department of Justice, the FBI must remain independent of politics and uncompromising in its mission. G. W. Bush
