Glenn Greenwald writes 9/11 Commission: Our investigation was obstructed. It refers to an op-ed in the New York Times on Jan 2,
Stonewalled by the C.I.A. by 9/11 commission chairmen Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton. Given the revelation that the CIA had tapes of interrogations and then destroyed them, obstruction of justice seems right.
At first I was going to whine that writing an op-ed seemed like an underwhelming reaction but now, "The Justice Department opened a criminal investigation into the destruction of CIA interrogation videotapes and Attorney General Michael B. Mukasey appointed an outside prosecutor to oversee the case...Mukasey named John Durham, a federal prosecutor in Connecticut, to oversee the case."
In other news, "Rep. Robert Wexler (D-FL) took to the House floor to urge the House Judiciary Committee to begin impeachment hearings into Vice President Cheney for 'high crimes and misdemeanors'." I unfortunately doubt anything will come of it, but maybe.
