From CNN;

Obama said Attorney General Eric Holder would decide whether to investigate Bush administration officials who formed the legal basis for the techniques. The Obama administration has said that CIA interrogators who followed the instructions would not be prosecuted for their work.
"We are going to follow the evidence, follow the law and take that where it leads," Holder said. "No one is above the law."

Except your buddy Mark Rich eh, Eric?

Personally, I like Thomas Sowell's take;

Much discussion of the interrogation of captured terrorists ignores the inescapable reality of trade-offs. The real question is: How many American lives are you prepared to sacrifice, in order to spare a terrorist from experiencing distress?

Bernie Madoff is dying of Cancer in prison. Lets be caring, warm and fuzzy. I suggest we release him immediately and send him to Libya!! Or Scotland...hmmmmmmm..???

UPDATE- Acording to the Bureau of Prisons Madoff has not been diagnosed with cancer. Seems the sources of the story were inmates. Inmates lie? Lets send him to Libya anyway......

The good die young... Castro took over Cuba when I was a month old. I'm now 50. He's outlasted and in some cases outlived NINE U.S. Presidents.....he's 83. He's not young and he sure ain't good.......anytime now ya old geezer....anytime....

A complete unknown? Bob Dylan had to return to his hotel with cops the other night in NJ. He was reported wandering around a neighborhood.Apparently the police didnt know who he was and requested identification. IS THIS HOW WE TREAT OLD GUYS IN AMERICA!!

When is the beer summit? Oh, wait..Dylan was polite, compliant and friendly....WTF.....never mind...:-)

This is the last paragraph written by Farrell Evans in an SI article. He made a rather large assumption based on NOT being there.

"Every day cops of all shades make snap judgments about men based on the external similarities between them and most of the men in this country's jails. It's hard to know fully what Sgt. James Crowley's intentions were with Henry Louis Gates Jr. But I know firsthand that while racial profiling isn't always perfectly racist, it is no less disturbing, even if it is understandable.

"

So, I fixed it for him......:-)

Every day people of all shades make snap judgments about men and women based on the external similarities between them and most of the people in this country. It's hard to know fully what Henry Louis gates' intentions were with Sgt.James Crowly. But I know firsthand that while racial profiling isn't always perfectly racist, it is no less disturbing, even if it is understandable. Gates went somewhere that has always been safe. The race place. This time, he got caught.
