CSJ was making noise that Spore ''Judges and prosecutors often
exchange positions in the Singapore system '',

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16 President Bush has decided to nominate
Michael B. Mukasey, a former federal judge from New York who has
presided over some high-profile terrorism trials, as his next
attorney general and is expected to announce the selection Monday,
according to several people familiar with the decision.
Should the Senate confirm him, Mr. Mukasey (pronounced mew-KAY-see)
would become the third attorney general to serve under Mr. Bush. As
the top law enforcement officer in the United States, he would
preside over a Justice Department that has been buffeted by
Congressional inquiries into the firing of federal prosecutors and
the resignation of the previous attorney general, Alberto R.
Gonzales.
