Holder Closer To Investigation

AG Eric Holder is leaning closer to investigating the Bush era torture.

"Attorney General Eric Holder is reportedly getting closer to appointing an independent prosecutor to investigate torture under the Bush administration. That’s making some CIA employees nervous."

The problem. He's only looking into if the CIA crossed the lines during the torture and investigating if the torture was legal in the first place.

I guess any investigation is better than no investigation.

Burris In Hot Water

If you haven't heard yet, Blagovich's appointment, burris, to the senate is in hot water. It seems he lied to the Illinois congress during the impeachment hearings. Burris was asked if he had contact with Blagovich or any other member of Blago's team about the senate seat. Burris said no. It now turns out he did have contact with Blago and even raised money for him.

With their dislike in taking Burris anyway, this gives dems a chance to get rid of him. There are multiple investigations into his dishonesty and even the White House has suggested he leave.
