At the end of every hard day, my Washington Independent colleague Daphne Eviatar finds some reason to believe that Eric Holder won’t take the Washington Post‘s advice to only prosecute the Lynddie Englands of the CIA. This is from Daphne’s latest piece:
“We always were concerned that part of the reason these investigations didn’t go anywhere is because they involved techniques that were authorized,” said a staffer to a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee who did not want to be named. “I don’t buy that they’re just going to go after the low level people. There’s at least a chance that if these investigations move forward, they’ll go up the chain. If it involved techniques that were authorized that are illegal, you’d go to the person who had command responsibility for that.”
So… a station chief? A Counterterrorist Center official? If that’s the thinking, there will be accountability for the Englands and the Graners. Justice!

Devoutly to be hoped. Hard to be too optimistic given how often our hopes are dashed, but, yes, I hope so.
And if so, I will take back all my criticism of Eric Holder.
