1. Does anyone think this will go all the way to Cheney and his pet monkey?

2. I hope that it will be choice number 1 with all my heart,

but I'm bracing myself for the more likely choice number 2.

4. I voted for nuttin, but I don't KNOW. I'm simply a cynic when it comes to politics.

I hope for better, I fear for worse.

History seems to be on the side of nuttin - so many instances of the powerful and privileged escaping without accountability for their actions, and few examples of the opposite.

But there are always those rare exceptions that make things exciting...

6. If a big enough rat deserts the sinking ship

It may not be the big drink for all the conspirators. However, the story could be told.

But I have been paying attention and have faint hope that it will get to that now. I got off the hope roller coaster a long time ago.
Now: show me!

7. Read this from Glenn Greenwald ...

Edited on Mon Aug-24-09 07:05 PM by Junkdrawer

Thus, as long as, say, a White House official shows that (a) the only torture methods they ordered were approved by the OLC and (b) they did not know those methods were criminal, then they would be entitled to full-scale immunity under the standard Holder announced today.

This quite likely sets up, at most, a process where a few low-level sacrificial lambs -- some extra-sadistic intelligence versions of Lynndie Englands -- might be investigated and prosecuted where they tortured people the wrong way.

9. Nice to see that Holder is still on the job!

Haven't heard much from him.
...all that "looking forward" stuff, I guess.
