Mr. Sampson?

Great question for Gonzales's Chief of Staff Kyle Sampson that was suggested by an anonymous poster on TPM Muckraker's live coverage of the Sampson's Senate testimony today:

Mr. Sampson, if the firing process "wasn't scientific or well-documented" and you didn't make the decision, then how do you know the firings were not for improper reasons?

I hope a staffer for some Senator reads that thread (or reads this blog).
