US Prosecutors: Consistent Problems – Although this is about the dropping of the case/conviction of Ted Stevens, it indicates how the last administration is “bleeding into” CURRENT concerns over justice. I wonder for how long? Did Holder have any other choice? If so, why this choice? In which way might this also add weight to the need for a Special Prosecutor?

If you scroll under this one on oneheartforpeace blog – you will find other Rights/Detainee/Torture related items (some perhaps hopeful? Some where the US admin has ignored or changed the Constitution/Bill of Rights/Geneva Accords to suit Cheney/Bush admin and now to try to sweep under the rug perhaps because the financial mess is simply too huge to do anything else???)

Congratulations and many thanks for your continuing good work. I share your hope that more good will come from the Obama administration. We all know nothing will happen without ongoing pressure from people like yourself. The public exposure is important as too many among our pols and the public today have a very short attention span.

Keep up the good work. There are lots of us out hear standing with real pride at your back.

Peace.
