Finding oneself on a "hit list" cannot be comforting.

David L. Huber is the United States Attorney for the Western District of Kentucky. It is reported that his name appeared on Alberto Gonzales' (the U. S. Attorney General) "hit list" of 26 U. S. Attorneys sought to be replaced in the "Prosecutorgate" fiasco that has many calling for Gonzales to be the one "nudged" out of his post.

Mr. Huber's treatment at the hands of his bosses brings "Prosecutorgate" home, especially since he states that "I do not know why I was on the list. I really don't have a clue". Mystified or not, Mr. Huber cannot feel comforted by this revelation that his name has been dragged into this sordid affair and his future, unless already assured, remains uncertain.
