Justice Department to investigate CIA interrogations; nine killed in New York plane crash. - By Kara Hadge - Slate Magazine
"The Los Angeles Times leads with the news that U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder is likely to appoint a criminal prosecutor to look into abuses committed during CIA interrogations of terrorism suspects. The prosecutor will evaluate whether the CIA employed tactics not authorized by Bush administration memos, not the legality of the controversial, so-called torture memos themselves."
Well,it looks like the former administration may be "off the hook" so to speak the way this lead in is worded in the LA times today. We shall see how this investigation develops won't we?
