Two important facts left out of your links, mike.

Griffin Bell did testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee about the firing of Marston.

And of those US attorneys who left office between 1981 and 2006, most left volutarily. Only 10 left office involunarily (ie fired)....three were fired for improper or criminal,behavior. So seven were fired for questionable reasons in 25 years...and Bush fires 8 in one day. That difference, in and of itself, would raise reasonable questions....and add the conflicting and changing reasons given by both DOJ and the WH for the firing, and you have more justification for hearings.

Again, it was not the firing...it was the lying after the fact, including impugning the reputations of those attorneys by saying the firings were performance related.
