Semantics.. they are your specialty, aren't they? These people work for Ashcroft, who works for Bush. Period. Ashcroft can tell them what to do and what not to do. Period. Notice, however that Bush and Ashcroft still allow the bureucratic left free reign. What's up with that, HMMMMMM?!
PS: Lame attempts to cite union protections, etc won't fly.
