why not??? how much did you complain when Clinton fired all of them. they serve at the pleasure of the President. if Bush said fire them, they are fired. If you think there was something illegal about it, Why hasn't Clinton, Kerry, and Kennedy bringing charges???

That's the point -- the actual reasons are unclear.
In at least some of the cases -- the published reasons were completely bogus -- the excuses were pure fabrications that didn't match the reality.
And in at least some of the cases -- there is strong evidence that it was done purely for political reasons, to enforce a particular partisan political agenda -- and at least indications that some of those might have crossed federal laws that prohibit such activity.
The bottom line is that we cannot know where federal laws were broken until there is an impartial investigation -- which required Gonzales out of the picture.

Who really cares...he had the authority to fire them. Many presidents have fired attorneys in the past. This was a political witch hunt, and the pu$$y republicans should have told the dems to piss off.
They serve at the pleasure of the President. That means that he could fire them at will, and it has happened in the past. Why the public bought into the media BS is unfathomable.

Because he is corrupt.
The attorneys in question had been involved in persecuting several Republicans in corruption charges. Gonzales fired them because he was probably ordered to do so by Bush.
Bush really wanted to keep Alberto, because he was very loyal to him. His attorney did everything he wanted him to do, from expanding presidential powers to figuring out ways to go around the ban on torture.

It doesn't really matter.... they have the right to do it for any reason or no reason.... Clinton fired all of them when he came into office... one may argue whether it's a good idea or not, but that's what elections are for.
