Wash. Post noted Biskupic's overturned prosecution, but not judge's denunciation of the case

SUMMARY: In an April 19 article on the U.S. attorney firings, The Washington Post noted that Milwaukee U.S. attorney Steven Biskupic secured the conviction of a former Wisconsin state employee, which an appeals court later overturned, but it did not mention that the appeals court ordered the former employee released immediately due to lack of evidence. Additionally, the Post suggested that the Bush administration first disclosed that millions of emails, including some about the attorney firings, are missing, when in fact it was Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington that first publicized the issue.
