Helping Native Americans gets you fired?

If this is true, it's going to make me very sad:

Five U.S. Attorneys who were recently fired by the Bush Administration claim that it's no coincidence that they served on the National Native American Issues subcommittee...

...The three Attorneys claim that their work on the subcommittee may have led to their dismissal.

It would be a new low if Gonzales' "Justice" Department turned doing substantive, helpful work on issues of importance to the most impoverished communities in our nation into something to be discouraged under the threat of being fired.

No more discrimination!

I believe this is extremely unfair because people who need help may not receive it now that the people willing to help risk being fired. As long as there's no underlying agenda to create problems, I believe people should be allowed to help others, no matter the race or cultural beliefs of those being helped.
