I stand by an earlier post that we should "move on", but this news will certainly change the political calculus about investigating the former Bush administration officials.
Nix, no they are going to attempt a "wedge strategy" wherein the Dems did not receive full briefings on the scope of the Torture Campaign and/or key pieces of the memos were held back from them.
Nixon is a former Navy guy who did a couple of deployments at sea and spent a year in Iraq. He enjoys reading and writing about the strange intersection between war, politics, and the media. He enjoys being an ex-pat and NGO employee in Bangkok for the time being.

Those who crafted the memos those who demanded the techniques be done and those who stood by and let it be done all need to be prosecuted.
Everyone involved needs to be removed from office (or their library) and face jail time or other appropriate punishments.
Of course, it's not going to happen
Gene,
Do you think the MoveOn.org campaign to push for prosecutions will go the way of the Dodo now?
