As has happened so many times in the last six years, the maximal version of this story -- which seemed logical six weeks ago but which I couldn't get myself to believe -- turns out to be true. Indeed, it's worse. We now know that Gonzales, McNulty and Moschella each lied to Congress. We know that the purge was a plan that began at the White House -- and it was overseen by two of President Bush's closest lieutenants in Washington -- Miers and Gonzales. Sampson is the second resignation. There will certainly be more.
And remember this key point: The document dump is meant to get bad news out of the way fast. But it's always a hedge. It never includes the really bad stuff. And if you're not in absolute crisis mode, ya' never do it on a Monday.

Take your worst assumptions about this White House and double them. You won't begin to approach how unscrupulous they really are, but it will be a start.
(ellroon, I just posted on this, crediting you with the find, of course.)
Things are falling apart faster than we can report it.
It's something we've been waiting for for six years...*sniff*
