The Washington Post has come up with four more U.S. attorneys whose names wound up, at one time or another, on termination lists at the Justice Department last year.
Colm Connolly, the U.S. attorney in Delaware, tells the Post that the Justice Department's Michael Elston called him earlier this year to apologize for the fact that his name was on a list of prosecutors that was being turned over to congressional investigators. When Connolly asked how the list was prepared, he says Elston told him that he had collected the names from other people but "could not remember who he spoke with" or what concerns they may have raised about Connolly.
Sounds like just the man to replace Alberto Gonzales.
