4. Nope. How about someone we've never heard of who still
cherishes the rule of law but isn't into being involved with the media?

That would be refreshing.

5. About the WORST possible choice
He's already on the record multiple times calling what the Bush adminsitration did criminal and war crimes. It would be a forgone conclusion and look like a political witch hunt.

Nope, has to be somebody completley above the fray in this.

6. I wonder if he has been out there to much on this one though... He has appeared on KO and...
a bunch of other shows many times with respect to this torture issue. Would that compromise him on being unbiased? I would love to see him appointed to this though....

7. Don't we wish? But, he's radioactive .........
Far too much anti-Bush bias and animus already on record.

That's OK. He's still ours .......................

8. Competent Defense Attorneys, Sir, Would Make Hash Of Him
Kind of like dropping John Wayne without a script into an alley with several fellas who have actually hit real people with baseball bats....

9. No. He belongs in front of the camera setting the stage.
The legal work will be done by others.
With much different personalities and skills.

10. the Congress should have him on a panel to discuss constitutional law
and what crimes have been committed. Jonathan Turley is angry about the whole thing.

11. I love Turley, but he's a professor! I think a special investigator should
have a background in criminal investigations, AN experience in constitutional law. I can't think of anyone to recommend, but I'm sure Holder etc. know some.
