Ah, sweet irony! Mukasey on a "rule of law" mission ???

How about some of that rule of law to be demonstrated in the United States? Or in the US military? on in the CIA? ...

THIS is the cover for the trip to Turkey? Give me a BREAK.

BTW, how come no reporting on the trip to Turkey? How come?

WASHINGTON (AP) - Attorney General Michael Mukasey has met in Iraq with the head of its judicial council during a quick trip to Baghdad to review U.S. efforts to help build the nation's legal system.

Mukasey also met with top U.S. officials there, as well as soldiers and some of the more than 200 Justice Department officials currently working on the so-called ``rule of law'' mission in the wartorn country.

The Justice Department released a statement early Wednesday in Washington in which it quoted Mukasey as noting that U.S. civilian volunteers are working with the Iraqi people. He said the aim was to build a legal system ``very different from our own but founded upon the same bedrock principles: due process and the rule of law.
