Mr. Munkasey is a skilled prosecutor ... and W knows what he's getting is what's needed. God bless him.

Retired judge Michael Mukasey is intimately familiar with the nation's legal battles over terrorism. He played a central role in such cases for over a decade — much of that time getting around-the-clock protection from armed guards.

Mukasey, 66, once worked as a reporter, but gave it up to pursue a career in law. He was nominated to the federal bench in 1987 by President Reagan and eventually became the chief judge of the high-profile Manhattan courthouse.

As such, he played a key role in the nation's response to the 9/11 attacks, which brought down the World Trade Center towers just blocks from Mukasey's courthouse.

In the days after the attacks, Mukasey and other New York judges worked behind closed doors, seeing some of the first material witnesses detained by federal authorities.

God bless Pres. Bush, Gen. Petraeus, our fantastic troops and allies.

I listened to the book on tape of The Kite Runner and highly recommend it. I'm pretty sure that it was read by the author, and his voice is as nice as his looks in tonight's photo.
