Did a U.S. Attorney Cause a Blogger to Lose His Job?
Raw Story reported July 11, 2008, that, "The abrupt dismissal of a veteran University of Alabama [at Birmingham] employee who blogged about the firing of seven US Attorneys has added a bizarre new twist to allegations that the state's US Attorneys targeted political opponents for prosecution."
According to Raw Story's Lindsay Beyerstein, "Roger Shuler -- a high-profile blogger and leading critic of Alabama's judicial system -- has written extensively about alleged corruption among U.S. Attorneys for over a year."
"In particular," Beyerstein reports, "Shuler focused on two US Attorneys from his home state: Alice H. Martin of the Northern District and Leura G. Canary of the Middle District."
Martin defends herself in a email to Raw Story.
