Unbelievable - Milw. Journal goes after Sensenbrenner AND Rove
Snip from Senselessbrenner article

Sensenbrenner plays defense on letter

His second-guessing of criminal sentence called 'bizarre' by some

By GINA BARTON

Wisconsin Congressman F. James Sensenbrenner Jr. has come under fire for second-guessing a federal appeals court ruling in a Chicago drug case.

In a letter to the chief judge of the U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, Sensenbrenner said a low-level drug dealer should have gotten 10 years in prison instead of just more than eight.

While critics say the letter was bizarre, misguided and ethically questionable, a spokesman for Sensenbrenner says the eight-year sentence was illegal and the Menomonee Falls Republican was simply doing his job as chairman of the House Judiciary Committee

Editorial snip about Rove...

Editorial: Should this leak sink Rove?

For some time, President Bush and other administration officials have expressed their outrage over the unmasking of a CIA operative and declared their determination to help find out who leaked her name to the press and then to fire that person. But on Monday, when asked repeated questions on this subject, White House spokesman Scott McClellan shut up tighter than a clam.

This sudden silence is unacceptable. It obviously stems from the very real possibility that Karl Rove, Bush's top political adviser, is the leaker or one of them. Rove's dodging in this matter, in fact, has been so transparent as to undermine his credibility........
