WSJ: last week gonzalez quietly appointed chiefs of public integrity and fraud
GONZALES QUIETLY FILLED two long-vacant jobs.

With no public announcement, the attorney general named permanent chiefs last week for the Public Integrity Section, which prosecutes government corruption cases and oversees Abramoff-related investigations, and for the Fraud Section. Bill Welch, deputy chief of the Public Integrity Section, moves up, as does Steve Tyrrell, acting chief of the Fraud Section.

Both posts were vacant for more than a year. A Justice spokesman says the delay was because of interviewing multiple candidates. “It’s not something that can be done overnight,” he says.

That's all the article says: from todays wall street journal online.

1. "which prosecutes government corruption cases" it's no wonder they didn't fill those.
And the folks they were looking for to fill them would be people easily bribed and already corrupted, probably.
