“Attorney General Michael Mukasey said Wednesday he had rejected a request from lawmakers that an outside special counsel investigate the case of a Canadian taken off a plane in New York and sent to Syria, where he says he was tortured. Mukasey said under questioning at a House Judiciary Committee hearing that he did not believe that a special counsel was warranted ‘at this time.’ … Three committee Democrats sent a letter July 10 asking Mukasey to appoint an outside special counsel to investigate and prosecute any violations of federal criminal laws.” (07/23/08) Link: http://www.wiredispatch.com/news/?id=265164 Filed under: RRND News | Report Bad Link Bookmark this post in Furl or Del.icio.us | |
