Mukasey Appoints Patrick Fitzgerald to the Attorney General's Advisory Committee of U.S. Attorneys

Honestly, I have no clue as to what this appointment means.

Based on Mukasey's statements on waterboarding, I was convinced that he was Bush and His Evil Minions^&trade bitch, but this would seem to indicate otherwise.

What is the role of this committee? Does this mean anything, or is it just a title and a pat on the head?

He was on the committee before, but was not reappointed by Abu Gonzalez after he started investigating the Plame leak.

The pourpose of the committee appears to be, counseling "the attorney general on law enforcement issues."
