Crisis -- GO FIGURE (Note: This is what G.W. found time to

Recess rules used to fill Justice post
(FROM: Houston Chronicle)
WASHINGTON - President Bush has used a
constitutional provision to bypass the Senate and fill a top Justice Department
slot with an official whose nomination stalled over tactics at the Guantanamo
Bay, Cuba, naval facility. Bush used a "recess appointment" Wednesday to name
Alice Fisher to lead the agency's criminal division. Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich.,
had blocked the nomination because he wants to talk to an agent who named Fisher
in an e-mail about allegedly abusive interrogations at the U.S. military prison
camp at Guantanamo. Fisher can serve until January 2007. |
