In naming Michael Mukasey as his third attorney general in six years, President Bush on Monday picked an outsider to run the beleaguered Justice Department for a little more than a year.

In stark contrast to Alberto Gonzales, who was criticized for being too close to the president, the former New York federal judge is not a Bush confidante.
