AP source: Holder considering torture probe
By NEDRA PICKLER
A move to appoint a prosecutor is certain to stir partisan bickering that could create a distraction to President Barack Obama's efforts to push health care and energy reform. Obama has expressed reluctance to having a probe, saying the nation should be "looking forward and not backwards" when it came to Bush-era abuses.

There will be a lot less acrimony (although wingnuts will piss and moan any way) than if Obama came into office and made prosecuting Bush Administration crimes a priority (as many here wanted).

Ina-- mound those potatoes up. You should be doing that all season-- bring the dirt up past each of the leaves, so you only have the top branch sticking out.

Attorney General Eric Holder may probe Bush-era torture
Holder is insane if he opens this can of worms. Hopefully calmer voices will disuade him from going down this path, which will be the equivalent of declaring war on the Republican Party, a war he cannot win. Fox News, Wall St Journal, Washington Times will crush any attempts to smear the Bush Administration. Thios will also kill any hope for bi-partisanship over the healthcare bill. Holder, think about what you are about to unleash.

Nedra needs to go back to journalism school. The reason the newspaper business is suffering isn't because people don't want to buy newspapers and be informed. It's because the so-called "journalists" make the consumer not want to buy their product. I won't buy the Washington Post because of Dana Milbank.

My, my my. Nedra and FDV agreeing so wholeheartedly. They really are scared shitless of this prospect, arent' they?
Perhaps if they worked VERY VERY HARD at bipartisanship...starting with unanimous confirmation of Sotomayor, followed by wholehearted R support of single-payer healthcare, and a few other items like Hard Carbon Control etc, we could think about politely asking the AG to start with easier matters like the politicization of the Attorneys General during the last admininstration.
Maybe. We would have to see some awfuly sincere bipartisanship though.

Television is a window into mainstream America. I contend that if you don't at least sample whats on TV, you will have a hard time understanding what the average American believes the world is like. Just look at the response to American Idol to see how much TV shapes what Americans think is important.

The essence of bipartisanship is that both sides give up something. The Democrats are going to give up hope of the Republicans acting rationally. The Republicans are going to give up half their voters and corporate sponsors.

Before. It really became popular during my generation - the ass-enders/gen jones. A big reason some of us didn't pursue music as a career...suddenly it was all about the visuals.
