All four prosecuting attorneys (two of the U.S. Attorney's office in Anchorage and two of the Justice Department's Public Integrity Section in Washington) are under investigation for criminal contempt by a special prosecutor appointed by the judge in the failed trial of former Sen. Ted Stevens. Their bosses, Public Integrity Chief William Welch and his principal deputy, Brenda Morris, are also under investigation.

Well, today the U.S. Justice Department admitted to undisclosed prosecutorial errors in two more criminal cases targeting political corruption in Alaska and asked for two convicted state lawmakers to be released from jail.

"Errors."

Can you believe this crap? The government is here to help us, and knows what to do about preventing fraud, torturing no one but terrorists, saving the oceans, preventing and curing economic meltdown, guiding World Peace, etc. etc. It's all under control. We have "Public Integrity."
