This is one of "The" test cases the Obama DOJ will face. The way they handle this case and all the ancillary charges against those that have put Gov. S. thru all this pain will either garner the new DOJ respect or start a big fight with the netroots. The Netroots has been all over this story with the Gov. himself writing diaries at Dkos and other blogs. His support from those blogs is overwhelming. This is not a battle Obama should fight this early in his term.

I realize I'm in the minority, but I believe it is of the utmost importance that the DOJ go after any and all that worked to undermine our civil rights. The acts of spying on Americans without a warrant, among many other criminal acts need to be investigated and brought to trial. That includes Torture and the murder of prisoners in our custody. The violation of the Geneva Convention cannot be allowed to go unpunished, not by Bush or anyone else, no matter how politically dangerous it may be.
