Turley: 'God help us' if torture only gets a '9/11 commission' (2 posts)

    "A true war crime investigation would be given to a special prosecutor, who would follow it where it would lead him or her," Turley told Shuster. "And that would most certainly lead him ... or her to the former president or vice president and the people like the CIA director and attorney general who pushed through this program."

    "God help us if the only thing we get out of this is a commission modeled on 9/11," Turley commented. "That was a commission that was really made for Washington -- a commission composed of political appointees of both parties that ran interference for those parties -- a commission that insisted at the beginning it would not impose blame on individuals. So it's the ideal Washington commission -- a commission that would investigate without any reprecussions."

    From the Huffington Post: (for whatever its worth)

    "The president has said that if an investigation were to happen, he wanted it done in an independent and non-partisan matter by people above reproach -- qualities sometimes tough to come by in Congress."

    This seems to imply 'special prosecutor' - but, of course, the operative word above is "IF"

    there are really only 3 choices: Special prosecutor. DOJ. Congress. all three approaches could be compromised and flawed - although Congress would be a DISTANT 3rd in the credibility category.
