As I had hoped, Bush nominates "a man of independence and integrity" as Attorney General.

As I had hoped and somewhat predicted, President Bush has nominated former federal judge (and judicial adviser to Rudy Giuliani's presidential campaign), Michal Mukasey, as Attorney General.

He appears to be a man of admirable independence (the opposite of Alberto "Gonzo shuffle" Gonzales) and integrity (another trait Gonzales has been accused of lacking).

All I have read about the judge seem to bear out these traits, but I'll have to do some more research. If these traits are found to exist in the judge (he has to also possess a trait to manage a HUGE bureaucracy like the BLOATED Justice Department), then one should not have a reason not to rejoice in his appointment.
