    Interesting...

    Glenn, thanks for the post - this is one of the reasons I read your blog. Information like this is very hard to get, especially in condensed form, from other sources.

    Holder sounds like as good an appointment as one could have hoped for. Sounds like there is the potential for me to have to admit I was wrong about the Obama administration's willingness to perpetuate Bush's abuses. I fervently hope my instincts are incorrect and Obama and Holder will restore respect for the law in the executive branch.
