Chickens will come home to roost

"From the beginning, wary agency officials insisted on what they called “top cover” — written Justice Department approval for what they did.

Most legal scholars say that even under a future administration, the Justice Department would not seek charges against C.I.A. officers for actions the department itself had approved."
From NYT, Scott Shane

via TPMMuckraker, Spencer Ackerman:
"All that makes it likely that, as Shane writes, the Justice Department won't prosecute anyone for interrogating detainees. Attorney General Michael Mukasey's alternative is to risk the CIA's pushback -- which will be nothing less than calling his bosses and his colleagues war criminals"

EXACTLY!

Also I have to give props to my IL senator Durbin for getting the ball rolling ... who knows what else has been hidden or destroyed...

"Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin has given the Bush administration one week to disclose whether interrogations of suspected terrorists were recorded by friendly foreign intelligence services and made available to the CIA.

In three sharply worded letters delivered Wednesday to CIA Director Michael Hayden, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Atty. Gen. Michael Mukasey, Durbin (D-Ill.) demanded to know whether audio or video recordings of interrogations, possibly involving torture, had been made at the CIA's behest and later provided to the intelligence agency."
