Who ya gonna trust? DOJ to investigate whether or not it's politicized.

in an effort, no doubt, to obstruct the house and senate investigations...

The Justice Department has begun an internal investigation into whether a former senior adviser to Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales improperly tried to fill vacancies for career prosecutors at the agency with Republicans loyal to the Bush administration, department officials said Wednesday.

The inquiry focuses on whether the former adviser, Monica Goodling, sought to determine the political affiliations of job applicants before they were hired as prosecutors — potentially a violation of civil service laws and a break with a tradition of nonpartisanship in the career ranks at the Justice Department.

The inquiry by the department’s inspector general and the Office of Professional Responsibility was announced on a day in which the House and Senate Judiciary Committees advanced their broader investigations of issues related to last year’s dismissals of eight United States attorneys.

somebody, i can't remember who, suggested yesterday that a special prosecutor might be the appropriate solution, but also pointed out the problem of "who appoints" that special prosecutor... when the entire operation is full of loyal bushies and republican party operatives tasked to run the government as the private fiefdom of george, dick and karl, who ya gonna trust...?
