WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The decision to fire eight U.S. attorneys was "properly made but poorly explained," a former top aide to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales told a Senate committee Thursday.

Appearing at an investigative hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Kyle Sampson testified that none of the prosecutors were dismissed "for an improper reason," such as to influence an ongoing investigation.

But he said the process -- which has led to a firestorm on Capitol Hill and a standoff over the testimony of White House aides -- was "badly mishandled."

Oh, he's just a Bush loving worshipper.  Everyone knows that only those that disagree and condemn these firings are credible.  Hell anyone that condemns Bush is "obviously" right, and anyone that agrees with Bush on anything is a mindless RW robot.  Right knute?       ;)

Alberto Gonzales' former chief of staff says the Attorney General was involved in the firings, contradicting his boss. Who cares, right? Bored Democrats with no agenda, that's who.
