See posts, Comments below for more information. I am simply shocked!

See the live blog notes here on the Eric Holder, our Attorney General? Hearing Before the US House Subcommittee on Justice, etc. - Just Now --this afternoon.

Hearing may have also been covered by MSNBC

Crazy that hundreds onward of Rights groups, known activists & reporters (some LIVE before this hearing) have been following all of this for years, KNOW and have carefully documented the EVIDENCE for YEARS and yet US Attorney General, Eric Holder, says in Future Tense: " IF I see Evidence, I WILL...." How can he have been chosen for this job? What is the world thinking about such a lame answer as this?

ASK - Include in Op Ed - Rep Frank Wolf (R., Va.) asking that ALL the memos be released.

Also why in the world would our NEW ATTORNEY GENERAL imagine he can get by with not having asked to READ the remaining MEMOS by now? Why would he not have at least read Andy's book & articles & others like them? What about ICRC, Amnesty, Human Rights Watch, many Jurist & other Legal statements and documents over 6 plus years time, National Pres. of the US Lawyer's Guild, etc. etc.

Instead, he said that he was "NOT FAMILIAR" with them - that he had "HEARD ABOUT THEM FROM CHENEY" - who would of course like to keep them a mystery, hidden away from Holder & the rest of us.

What is the excuse for this?

Nevertheless, there were some encouraging statements & questions, at least, put rather strongly to tentatively - out on one of the US tables of justice that should help us all to keep on keeping on! Now, we need to call EACH member of this committee to point out what was missing.

We need to encourage & Push legislators Russ Feingold, D. Feinstein and other leading legislators on the need for a Special Prosecutor along with citizens & Congress's need to Fire Judge Bybee...
