Troopergate

Maybe you've heard of "Troopergate." If you haven't, read this article from the Anchorage Daily News. It gives a good sense of what is at stake. The part that has always stuck out to me is the accusation that Wooten used a Taser on his 10-year-old son. Today, curiosity got the better of me, and I found this article, also from the Anchorage Daily News and written well before Palin was chosen as McCain's running mate.

Read them for yourself and decide. Wooten is definitely no prize, but was Palin justified in going after him and firing Walter Monegan for refusing to bend to her will? Hopefully we'll start getting some answers soon, though not if Palin insists on her refusal to cooperate with the probe.
