If I have any thing good to say about Mike Nifong, its this--he took it like a man.

No publicists, no photo op with Al Sharpton, just an admission of his mistakes, an expression of regret and a calm acceptance of his fate.

Herein lies the path to redemption.

What he did though was terribly, terribly wrong--not just for the accused Duke players, but for the justice system. He did however do us a service by blundering through his hijacking of the courts in such a way that we could get such a clear an unambiguous conclusion with a maximum of publicity. The reason I say this is because what Nifong did goes on everyday in this country with varying degrees of public awareness. Rush Limbaugh's problems down in Florida were clearly political, not to mention Tom Delay's ridiculous indictments (the case is "stalled", or otherwise round filed because the political benefit from it no longer exists...) and on and on.

Its high time we held corrupt prosecutors accountable.

Conservative Alternative. Not done with him yet. I'm not so sure about Nifong personally, but certainly the DA's office and the state will have to settle civil suits.
