Mukasey Names Prosecutor to Probe Attorney Dismissals (Update2)

By Robert Schmidt

Sept. 29 (Bloomberg) -- Attorney General Michael Mukasey named a special prosecutor to investigate possible crimes arising from the Bush administration's firing of nine U.S. attorneys.

Mukasey made the appointment after a blistering internal Justice Department report today said officials may have made false statements and obstructed justice in dismissals likely tainted by politics. The review said there should be further investigation by an attorney who can compel witness cooperation.

``The Justice Department has an obligation to the American people to pursue this case wherever the facts and the law require,'' Mukasey said in a statement. He said the handling of the dismissals was ``haphazard, arbitrary and unprofessional.''
