Mon Mar 19, 2007 at 09:18:21 PM PDT
A FIRE, literally, - I'm not kidding - "occurred" today at the DOJ that coincided with the political firestorm engulfing Attorney General Alberto Gonzales' Department of Justice. The incident was reported as an electrical fire on the DOJ Website, escaped national mediaplay, and resulted in the closure of the Patrick Henry Building on 601 D Street, NW.. Continuity of Operations Procedures (COOP)were enacted, no regular Justice Department Workers were to be present. 
Wanna know what's in the building???.....
The DOJ Website noted the incident and indicated the building was expected to be open by tomorrow, but advised affected workers to listen to local media for further instructions.
As noted elsewhere, ABC News reported that the Department of Justice "released" this evening thousands of new relevant emails related to the politically motivated firings of numerous US Attorneys around the country. The Patrick Henry Building houses the following offices:
The Clearance Officer, United States Department of Justice,
Information Management and Security Staff, Justice Management Division, at the Department of Justice.
Department of Justice, Policy and. Planning Staff, Justice Management. Division, Patrick Henry Building, Suite. 1600, 601 D Street, NW., Washington, .
Experienced/Lateral Attorney Program Coordinator, Antitrust Division Personnel Unit, Room 10805, 601 D Street, NW, Washington, D.C. 20530
What do you make of today's Fire at the Justice Department?
I don't know about you but I still smell something burning.
