Leahy and Grassley are not terribly impressed with the white paper either, saying in their letter, that it “was not an adequate substitute for the underlying legal analysis that we believed had been prepared by the Department’s [DOJ] Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) ….”Yes. Release the damn OLC memo. This Cliff Notes version is better than nothing, but heck, it was leaked first anyhow, so half a cheer at best. If there is real (he says doubtfully) bipartisan concern, how about restraining funding or something unless it is released?
Various thoughts on current events with an emphasis on politics, legal issues, books, movies and whatever is on my mind. Emails can be sent to almostsanejoe@aol.com; please put "blog comments" in the subject line.
