There’s just this creeping sense of complete stupidity I’m getting out of DC these days – well, I hope its stupidity, because if its a plan, then we’re all in trouble:
U.S. Atty. Gen. Eric H. Holder Jr. is poised to appoint a criminal prosecutor to investigate alleged CIA abuses committed during the interrogation of terrorism suspects, current and former U.S. government officials said.
A senior Justice Department official said that Holder envisioned an inquiry that would be narrow in scope, focusing on “whether people went beyond the techniques that were authorized” in Bush administration memos that liberally interpreted anti-torture laws.
Current and former CIA and Justice Department officials who have firsthand knowledge of the interrogation files contend that criminal convictions will be difficult to obtain because the quality of evidence is poor and the legal underpinnings have never been tested.
We’re wasting time, wasting resources, turning up the heat on domestic divisions…and, for what? So that some kooks on the left can be thrown a sop? We get to rake our intelligence people over the coals while Black Panther fascists are given a free ride?
As I said, it’s gonna be a loooong four years…and we can at least be happy that its 1/8th over.
