Prosecutor sues Ashcroft, alleging terror-war blunders
By Pete Yost
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON - A federal prosecutor says the Justice Department has exaggerated its performance in the war on terrorism, interfered with a major terror prosecution and compromised a confidential informant.
The allegations are made in an extraordinary lawsuit against Attorney General John Ashcroft.
The lawsuit by Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard Convertino is the latest twist in the Bush administration's first major post-Sept. 11 terrorism prosecution, a Detroit case jeopardized by allegations of prosecutorial misconduct.
There are more details in the link. How more bizarre can this get. First the guy is such a loser that he lost an election with a dead man for a senate seat, then he gets appointed as Attorney General, then he gets sued because he can't keep from screwing up. So the big question is, is the guy totally incompetent, a screw-up supreme, or is he intentionaly sabotaging the justice system. With government like this who needs terrorists.

Inspired by Byron's The Destruction of Sennacherib. I think mine needs more stanzas.
assyria came down like the wolf on the fold
of lord's lambs in panic heard but not seen
by the cohort a gleaming in purple and gold
paid on the alter of blood drips an obscene
sheen on their spears like stars on the sea
where long waves roll black on deep galilee
drowning the dreams of what could have been
