DoJ's reason for firing prosecutor is now completely debunked

David Iglesias, recently fired by the Justice Department for allegedly not doing enough to prosecute voter fraud, was actually commended in 2005 for his work in prosecuting voter fraud:

One of the U.S. attorneys fired by the Bush administration afterRepublican complaints that he neglected to prosecute voter fraud hadbeen heralded for his expertise in that area by the Justice Department,which twice selected him to train other federal prosecutors to pursueelection crimes.

David C. Iglesias, who was dismissed as U.S.attorney for New Mexico in December, was one of two chief federalprosecutors invited to teach at a "voting integrity symposium" inOctober 2005. The symposium was sponsored by Justice's public integrityand civil rights sections and was attended by more than 100 prosecutorsfrom around the country, according to an account by Iglesias that adepartment spokesman confirmed.

This makes Gonzales look not so intelligent.  Why would he use that reasoning for firing Iglesias if there was such a high probability that this story was going to eventually come out.  That is a perfect example of political clumsiness.  Or did Gonzales honestly think that no newspaper would ever catch on to the fact that Iglesias was commended in that area by his Justice Department?

Gonzales is making it easy for Democrats.  And for that reason, Patrick Leahy, Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, will have an easier time trying to get other people like Karl Rove to testify.
