We've had a few developments on issues we've been working on and I thought I'd fill you in.
You may have missed it, but the attorney general had this to say in a speech recently:
“There is absolutely no evidence that anybody who rendered a legal opinion either with respect to surveillance or with respect to interrogation policy did so for any reason other than to protect the security of the country and in the belief that he or she was doing something lawful.”
Congressman Jerry Nadler and I had a forceful response which you can read about
here .
We have also learned that the DOJ is re-opening its investigation of the Don Siegelman prosecution after the emergence of whistleblower allegations of prosecutorial misconduct.
