I wonder if Mukasey will decide that there’s no need for a sentencing hearing…..

The thing is yes we know what happens to those that know too much or also pretend to know too much. Funny how kissing ass can get one disappeared if need be.

Failed institution is too kind. They are completely antithetical to their purpose and duty at this point. Failure presupposes they were trying; they were not.

” . . . the CIA finally decided it would be unwise to engage in a pissing contest . . .”

I don’t think it’s a finally decision – they never wanted this litigation at all. It was something Lam pursued and everyone at DOJ/CIA has a) seen what happened to her, b) don’t give a damn anyway – they are hand in glove in so damn many crimes they couldn’t list them if they tried, and c) have seen that Congress, the Dems, and especially the Obamaites – want to drag the bodies out to the compost pile and pretend they are fertilizing freedom with them. There’s no percentage for anyone of the games players in doing anything else, and after more than half a decade of blatant torture advocacy, it’s not as if there’s any good people who will do the right thing in the organization. If Afghan was a failed state under the Taliban, the DOJ under Republican lawyers is a failed institution.

With Dennis Ross as one of Obama’s middle east advisers and then Obama being more than willing to say “IRAN IS DEVELOPING NUCLEAR WEAPONS”. This has me worried about Obama

Why is Obama ignoring the last NIE on Iran? Why is Obama ignoring what Iaea’s El Baradei has said about Iran? Why did Obama’s inaccurate and inflammatory claim about Iran pass by listeners and Bob Schieffer?

This also disturbed me when it came up during the debate, along with the demonization of Ahdmedinajad. At this point I’m willing to give Obama the benefit of the doubt that he’s shoring up his right flank.

Iran has a population 66 Million. They aren’t stupid. Think they want to be bombed back into the stone age? Everything they say is just standard ME posturing.

Damn I knew I heard Obama say “Iran is developing nuclear weapons” during his appearance on Face the Nation on Sunday. He did not say they might, could, want to develop nuclear weapons Obama said “Iran is developing nuclear weapons” WTF

Why did Bob Schaeffer allow him to get away with repeating this unsubstantiated claim? We have heard Lieberman, McCain, Ledeen, Cheney, Bush, Rice, Reuel Marc Gerecht, Woolsey, Kristol, and other right wing radicals say this but this is the very first time I have heard Obama say this. What’s up with Obama repeating this?

Why is Obama ignoring the last NIE on Iran? Why is Obama ignoring what Iaea’s El Baradei has said about Iran? Why did Obama’s inaccurate and inflammatory claim about Iran pass by listeners and Bob Schieffer?

Listen to this interview with Obama? He said “Iran IS developing nuclear weapons” Obama needs to be called out on this.

No, this is a complete punt. You want no part of this unless there is a very extremely substantive cooperation agreement; but I have seen no evidence of that whatsoever. Absent substantial cooperation, might as well just cut the prick free; this is just plain worthless absent cooperation.
