These hearings could be incredibly important - if just to understanding the possibilities and the various downsides.

You (and Beachmom in various older posts) also make me see that Kerry really is the right person to chair this - a brilliant prosecutor, who went to war himself and who dealt privately and publicly with the moral and the policy issues of another war. Few equaled him in 1971, when he had no position, no experience as a lawyer or Senator, and no access to all the policy makers - all of which he has now.
