There Is A God

And his name will hopefully be Eric Holder. The Office of Professional Responsibility at the justice department has release a report stating that criminal investigations into torture should be reopened. (They were closed by Bush.)

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.
