Marcy Wheeler's take -

As I said in my panel at Netroots Nation, we'll know a lot about whether Holder intends to do a real investigation, or just a whitewash investigating the Lynndie Englands, by the stature of the prosecutor he names. And while Durham is already neck deep in the investigation of torture on the torture tapes, he doesn't necessarily have the stature to go after--say--Jim Haynes and John Rizzo for setting up the torture regime.

I guess Holder wasn't that serious about investigating torture after all.

if you do not remember Marcy was the one who exposed the waterboarding of ksm 182 times .. and another man .. I can't remember his name now, darnit ! .. .. 82 or 83 times ... after she reported it .. . then followed the nyt and ALL the other major newspapers ... The NYT is the only one that gave her the credit .. plus they gave her an award and I believe I remember they gave her 5000. dollars or 3 or some award amount .........

Marcy has never stopped .. since. If anyone is interested in this subject all you have to do is follow her on emptywheel..
