[AP story here.](http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070324/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/fired_prosecutors_182)

The exact nature of the documents aren’t given here, but there was an hour long meeting in Nov betweem the AG and 5 top aides to discuss the plan, and the implication is the he signed off on a 5 point plan.

I hope these documents get posted in full somewhere online. I find it particularly interesting the reference to part of the plan that would give advance notice to Republican elected officials in the affected states. I wonder what was the plan for Democratic elected officials?

The AG has been a paralyzed falcon ever since Bush said he had “full faith” in him.

Yup. Stick a fork in Alberto, he’s done.

Somehow, I doubt I’ll be asked to take his place ☹
