...Hopkins is not affronted in Fracture. As Ted Crawford, a super-smart engineer, he's pretty much recycling the rumbling intellectual arrogance of Hannibal Lecter and he seems energetically happy in his work. This time he murders his unfaithful wife, cheerfully admits the crime and acts as his own attorney in the subsequent murder trial. There are two main plot lines in Daniel Pyne and Glenn Gers' screenplay. One is that the police officer investigating the case is, in fact, the dead woman's lover, which opens the possibility of doctored evidence. The other is the cat-and-mouse game...

(The White House and Justice have denied allegations that the targeted prosecutors were fired because they were either pursuing either too many corruption cases against Republicans or too few against Democrats.) Among the grounds cited for Goodling's decision to invoke the Fifth Amendment was the fact that Deputy Attorney General, Paul...
...This week, Congressional committees are conducting private interviews with top Justice Dept. witnesses, including Gonzales' former chief of staff, Kyle Sampson, who may shed more light on the U.S. attorney firings, possibly including the role of the White House. Sometime later, the committees are expected to interview Rove, former White House counsel Harriet Miers and others, but the conditions under which they will provide evidence is still being negotiated. The White House has continued to insist they would not testify under oath or with a transcript of the proceedings...
