Eric Holder has basically recommended prosecution for the detainee abuse cases that George Bush closed. It doesn't directly call for investigation, but we all know what it says when you open those files.
David Johnston over at New York Times has it:
"WASHINGTON — The Justice Department’s ethics office has recommended reversing the Bush administration and reopening nearly a dozen prisoner-abuse cases, potentially exposing Central Intelligence Agency employees and contractors to prosecution for brutal treatment of terrorism suspects, according to a person officially briefed on the matter."

If this all materializes, is it an attempt to do the right thing OR is it an attempt to repair the DNC image? The Democratic brand has been dragged through the mud after being dropped down the ugly tree and hitting every branch recently. The election is coming up after all. This story is told thru the perspective of progressives over the past few weeks.
