Edwards calls for appointment of Special Prosecutor to investigate CIA torture tapes destruction...

[Blackhatjack]

... in his interview with Wolf Blitzer on Late Edition earlier today.

He went on to say that the DOJ was part of the Bush Administration, and asking them to investigate this would be like asking the Bush Administration to investigate itself.

He said Congress should exercise oversight immediately and not back off. And a special prosecutor was needed to get to the bottom of this.

1. Mukasey's already nixed that idea. I hope Schumer and Feinstein are happy. nt

[Blackhatjack]

2. Of course, Edwards is right .... Mukasey's hands are tied.

[babylonsister]

3. No, Mukasey has voiced his opposition to a special prosecutor.

Can anyone in Congress out shout that, or will they? I don't know if there's any legal recourse.

In letters to the leaders of the Senate Judiciary Committee and others, Mukasey also reiterated his opposition to appointing a special prosecutor to the tapes investigation, saying he was "aware of no facts at present" that would require such a step.

5. Oh please.

Biden is also a plagiarizer.
I sincerely doubt that Edwards needs to "follow" that cretin.

7. that is such a repuke line

what Biden did shouldn't even rise to being called plagiarism, but good freeperlike line there.

8. You are the queen of repuke cali

I'm sure you would be the first to notice...
but...it is true.
Being repuke is denying that our side does anything wrong and refuse to call them on their misdeeds.
Again...you are head and shoulders above the rest. Great Job!

9. how lame can you get.

was your wittle feelings hurt by being called on your bullshit about Biden? I don't use repuke crap because it's convenient, pookie. I do use snark on those who do, cupcake. But return to your limited and simplistic little world view. If you ever have an actual thought, I'd love to see it. Here's hoping. It's never too late.

11. Of course it's bullshit to bring up something that happened nearly

20 years ago and was quite simply using another pol's words in a speech without attribution. And the MSM blew it up out of all proportion. Interesting your convenient faith in the MSM, particularly the right wing WaPo. Figures.

12. Of COURSE they did

:eyes:

6. You mean he's joining Biden's call for a Special Prosecutor

Biden called for a SP days ago. He gets the credit for being first out of the gate on this. I'm glad to see Edwards join him.

13. Hooray

I'm glad to see this!
