Not for the first time, the LAT this morning argues in an editorial that Josh Bolten, Harriet Miers and Karl Rove should testify before John Conyers' House Judiciary Committee about the firing of a few U.S. attorneys a couple of years ago. The LAT calls it a compromise. The LAT misrepresents a District Court judge's decision that said Bolten and Miers had to show up for a Committee hearing but did not say they had to testify. The administration is appealing that decision.
Sadly, the Conyers investigation is a political witch hunt. The Bush administration had the right to fire the attorneys because they were political appointees. No reason for the firings had to be given. Conyers is wasting legislative and judiciary time and resources.
