From the NY Times:
"Mr. Holder, who questioned the thoroughness of previous inquiries by the Justice Department, is expected to announce within days his decision on whether to appoint a prosecutor to conduct a new investigation; in legal circles, it is believed to be highly likely that he will go forward with a fresh criminal inquiry."
He better or America is definitely doomed to repeat its past.
Update: And he did it. Eric Holder has appointed a special prosecutor to investigate torture. The only problem is that he has put limitations on the prosecutor. Allowing him/her to only go after the torturers. Which is unfair. The prosecutor also needs to go after the officials and lawyers who conjured up this whole mess to begin with.
