Sorry BaldE... but it remains the simple truth that if they want to prosecute someone they have absolutely no need to 'invite' anyone to do anything. (The power of prosecution... i.e., the enforcement of federal laws, is an Executive Branch mandate.)

...And while Mr. Obama and Senator Harry Reid, the majority leader, have come out against an independent commission to investigate the Bush administration’s treatment of terror detainees, other lawmakers are not ready to drop the issue. “You know, every so often I disagree with President Obama and Harry Reid,” Senator Patrick J. Leahy, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” Mr. Leahy said he still would prefer that a separate commission study the decision to use water boarding and other harsh methods of interrogation rather than a piecemeal review by various Congressional committees. “I know some people say, let’s turn the page,” Mr. Leahy said. “Frankly, I would like to read the page before we turn it.” thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com
