I’m not following this particularly closely, as I believe that the overarching policy will be coming from Barack Obama, but we had the two big ones today, Holder and Clinton.

Regarding Holder, he has said that he will review the determination not to prosecute Bradley Schlozman, who clearly lied to Congress, though I would still expect not to see a prosecution.

More heartening is that he explicitly said that water-boarding is torture.

I expect the Republicans to continue to fling poo, but I think that he will be approved.

Also, the Foreign Relations Committee voted for Clinton as Secretary of State 16-1 with Senator “Diaper” Vitter voting against.
