...More Strife Over Ousted Attorneys House Democrats released thousands of pages of congressional testimony and White House e-mails they say are evidence that senior aides to President George W. Bush played improper roles in the 2006 firings of nine U.S. Attorneys. The documents indicate that political strategist Karl Rove placed an "agitated" phone call complaining about New Mexico U.S. Attorney David Iglesias, who was later pink-slipped. (Rove insists he did nothing wrong.) The scandal led to the resignation of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales; a criminal probe continues...

A former Orange County (Orlando) mayor and former U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, Martinez was ushered into the Senate in 2004 by the conservative Republican machine of George W.

Both challengers were exemplars of the older generation - the generation that made the Islamic revolution in 1979 - and both were flummoxed by a candidate who seemed to have been trained by some Iranian equivalent of Karl Rove. They appeared paralyzed by what they considered his coarse impertinence; in American terms, these might have been debates between George Bush the Elder and Newt Gingrich, a gentlemanly establishmentarian against a rude populist brawler. Ahmadinejad was a slick combination of facts and accusations. He spoke directly into the camera...
