>WASHINGTON — Maryland U.S. AttorneyRod J. Rosensteinwas one of two federal prosecutors appointed by Attorney Gen. Eric H. Holder Jr. on Friday to lead criminal investigations into recent leaks of U.S. classified intelligence information.

>The appointment, which Rosenstein declined to comment on, followed a pledge earlier Friday from President Barack Obama that his administration does not permit the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive material.

>Holder assigned Rosenstein and U.S. Attorney Ronald C. Machen Jr. in the District of Columbia to open criminal probes into several recent disclosures after The New York Times printed detailed accounts of cyber warfare, the killing ofal-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden, and alleged "Kill Lists" maintained for targeting foreign terrorists.

Was he appointed at that time because he could be controlled or was he appointed into a controlled position to make him controllable?

It's an old article - just curious if his initial appointment was because they already had something on him - or they were putting him into a position set up to put him un the thick of shit that would go sour.
