    Glenn, A way of bringing more attention to two-tiered justice

    I totally support your continuing campaign to bring attention to our despicable two-tiered justice system. We need to get that message in any way that we can to Eric Holder so that it will be part of his DOJ charter. One way to do that would be to have members of congress grill him on that during his confirmation hearings. You might want to determine who those members might be so that you could interview them for your radio interviews and plant this idea firmly in their minds.

    Also, Bob Baer former CIA agent, author of Blow The House Down, current intelligence expert for Time.com and the character played by George Clooney in the movie Syriana, based on Baer’s book, See No Evil, was interviewed by Rachel Maddow last night in her segment titled, Intell Showdown. The two discuss how the appointment of Panetta means that there is accountability as far as those who have a tainted torture past and their future role, or lack of a role, in the Obama administration.

    She also was interviewed on Countdown on the same subject and discusses how the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence has been co-opted and is no longer performing its oversight role thanks to DiFi and Rockefeller.
