So they successfully removed John Ashcroft's gallbladder... but what about the aftermath? (Don't want to run into a post-op mess a la Iraq.)
I hope they don't just toss it away. This is an organ of a famous person (or infamous person, depending on your politics). It now has its own celebratory cachet. Do they know what they're going to do with it?
Here're some suggestions:
a) auction it off on EBay and use the proceeds to fight terrorism
b) donate it to UCLA and restore respect to an entrepreneurial body-parts program
c) freeze-dry it, bronze it, and mount it on a pedestal in the Dept. of Justice to inspire future generations ("He gave his gallbladder for his country!")
