Attorneys Unite to Support Government Watchdog Dismissed by Obama Administration

Nearly 150 prominent attorneys of all political stripes have banded together to support one of their own who went to D.C. to serve as a government watchdog, only to be dismissed by the Obama administration in the wake of a report that he was "disoriented" at a meeting. Though the attorneys are unanimous in affirming Gerald Walpin's "integrity and competence," they have stopped short of calling for a formal investigation of his dismissal, which has prompted bloggers to accuse the White House of partisanship.
