Taking a bite out of crime?

Today, Atty Gen Alberto Gonzalez announced indictments of 50 Columbians for drug trafficking.

Last week, Gonazlez announced that a huge internet child porn ring had been busted.

Call me a cynic if you will, but I wonder whether some magical planetary alignment suddenly produced all this crime busting, or if a memo went out to bush's cabinet ordering them to do something - anything - high profile to make this administration look effective in any way possible that might divert attention from the monumental incompetence of the white house.
