After the co-chairs of the 9/11 Commission said that the CIA (and the White House) "obstructed our investigation", attorney general Mukasey appointed a prosecutor to conduct a criminal probe.

Sounds good, right?

Well, the prosecutor:

"will not serve as a special prosecutor such as Patrick Fitzgerald, who operated autonomously" (AP)

There's nothing really "outside" about [prosecutor] John Dunham. He's a career DOJ prosecutor, the number two official in the U.S. Attorney's Office in Connecticut. . . ." (former DOJ official Marty Lederman, )

The prosecutor "will report to the deputy attorney general", acting Deputy attorney general Craig Morford (Washington Post)

The prosecutor will lack independence, contrary to the Justice Department's own regulations:

"While I certainly agree that these matters warrant an immediate criminal investigation, it is disappointing that the Attorney General has stepped outside the Justice Department's own regulations and declined to appoint a more independent special counsel in this matter. . . .
The Justice Department's record over the past seven years of sweeping the administration's misconduct under the rug has left the American public with little confidence in the administration's ability to investigate itself. Nothing less than a special counsel with a full investigative mandate will meet the tests of independence, transparency and completeness. Appointment of a special counsel will allow our nation to begin to restore our credibility and moral standing on these issues." (House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers)

Bottom line: Just another whitewash.

Note: Hat tip to Salon for its many useful updates.

Mr. Mukasey says...

"Mr. Dunham, it is incumbent upon you to investigate this alleged wrongdoing to the full extent of the President's term in office, and not a minute less!"

WHITEWASH...AHH

We knew things like this was going to happen two weeks after we sent this spineless congress to Washinton. To let (another Bush cronie) Mukasey breeze right on in with hardly a peep out of congress. of course its a whitewash. Drag it out for a year, and we have a nothingburger
