GOP: desperate for any investigation that isn't focused on THEM...

Apparently the GOP decided it had to start at least ONE investigation about somebody other than themselves before the '06 campaign season rolls around.

Hmmmm...worse leak...outing an active CIA agent with a Middle East assignment during a war in the Middle East, or revealing the existence of potentially illegal covert prisons?

Here's another question: if, as the Bush Admin has announced through the papers in the last few days, torture is banned across the board, why do we need secret CIA prisons in Europe? Reminds me of "A Few Good Men": Colonel, if you specifically forbid anyone to touch Santiago, and the men always obey your orders, why was Santiago being transferred off the base?
