Mukasey’s past
Re “Ex-jurist in line to replace Gonzales,” Sept. 17
I am intrigued by the fact that President Bush’s nominee for attorney general, Michael B. Mukasey, is a jurist with practically no management experience.
The Justice Department is a large bureaucracy with in excess of 100,000 employees. I appreciate that the nominee has a major factor in his favor -- views on executive authority and fighting terrorism that accord with those of the president -- but some executive experience would be helpful.
