Krauthammer's Take By NRO Staff The Corner From last night's Fox News All-Stars. On Eric Holder appointing a prosecutor to investigate alleged CIA abuses: <<< Well, we just heard the president say that he didn't want something like this because it would hamper our national security operations in the future -- and this surely will. Who would want to be an interrogator after what has been happening now? Look, the cases that are going to be looked at are cases that were looked at by career prosecutors -- not political appointees -- in the eastern district of Virginia where the CIA is and where these cases are handled. And they looked at about 20 of these cases of people who allegedly went beyond the four corners of the law, and recommended in all cases -- except one -- no prosecution. The one case was brought to trial. The person was a CIA contractor who attacked a detainee with a metal flashlight, and was found guilty. His case has just been reviewed, appeals court upheld. For all the others, [the prosecutors] recommended against [prosecution]. So what happens? You have a new administration, a new wind in the White House, a president who ran against George Bush and who now decides it's a good time to run against him again. And these interrogators are going to be relooked at by a special prosecutor, which means unlimited license. And if you think it is going to stop there, it's not. The great white whale here is the lawyers and the White House. These interrogators are going to say "I was just obeying orders." You are going to go to the White House and end up where they want to end up, with Cheney, who is the great white whale of this investigation. >>> corner.nationalreview.com
