It will be interesting to see if anything really comes of yesterday’s Senate action. We can assume that the GOP members will do their best to stone-wall any ‘real’ investigation and that the White House will claim Executive Privilege & national security to deny the members any access to reports or material. In other words, same s***, different day.

What might be surprising is to see if today’s Washington Post story on secret CIA prisons leads to anything. We would probably be better off checking out the European press on any follow up, since “senior U.S. officials.”

I haven't been posting recently more for reasons of laziness and being distracted by other things. Namely, the passing last week of our friend Bella and next week the due date of Donna's sister, Marilyn. Life does have a way of getting in the way of the important things like blogging.
