More appointing cronies by the Bush administration. And the patriot act lets the White House get away with appointing US attorneys without Senate confirmation. Have we mentioned Bush's grab for unitary executive power lately? We are bringing democracy by force to another country and losing ours at the same time.

From your quote:

McNulty said the administration has no plan to circumvent the confirmation process and will send the Senate nominations for permanent replacements for the prosecutors. He said the six prosecutors dismissed besides Cummins — including San Diego U.S. Attorney Carol Lam, who oversaw the corruption prosecution of former congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham, R-Calif. — were let go for performance-related reasons.
