More depressing information on the connection between the fired US Attorneys' work on Native American issues and their dismissals:

The three attorneys (Paul Charlton - AZ, Margaret Chiara - MI, and Dan Bogden - NV) stopped short of saying they were fired because of their work on native issues, but former USA for Minnesota Tom Heffelfinger was slated for firing repotedly because of "spending an excessive amount of time" on such work.  He quit earlier last year without knowing he was on the dismissal list.

The broader issue of commitment to solving the crime problem on reservations is even more worrisome.
