Dispatches from the Bush Posse#5

Senate Will Advance Torture Commission from Salon
"The Senate Judiciary Committee plans to move forward with a commission to investigate torture during the Bush administration. Committee Chairman Pat Leahy, D-Vt., told Salon Tuesday that his panel would soon announce a hearing to study various commission plans. His staff said the announcement could come as early as Wednesday"

"Salon's Mark Benjamin (who, just by the way, has a history of some truly great reporting over the last few years) reports facts suggesting the commission might actually be more serious than that -- and that's true largely for one reason:  Sheldon Whitehouse."
