U.S. Attorney purge: legal or illegal?

I keep hearing Bush supporters whining about how the firing of these eight U.S. Attorneys is completely legal, and that no one did anything wrong. But if that is so, why did AG Gonzales lie under oath to Congress? I'm assuming the nation's top lawyer would not commit perjury on a whim. Either he is a compulsive liar, or he' hiding something rather incriminating to have lied to Congress.

Then, he turned around and lied at the press conference about his role in the firings. Again, is he stupid, or covering up?

Now, one of his officials is taking the fifth rather than testify.

Again, if there is nothing illegal here, why not just tell the truth? My, these people sure are scared.
