And Leahy's not the only one

Darth Cheney won't take back dropping "go fuck yourself" on Pat Leahy. Odds are he'd prefer to extend it to many other people.

Would subpoenas be too harsh?

OK. Michael Mukasey has been sworn in. I don't blame the Bushists for keeping it private. Mukasey took an oath to the Constitution. Will the Democrats in Congress at least try to find out immediately if he takes that seriously, or if he'll continue to be a dutiful Bushist?

Please, Henry Waxman or Pat Leahy, push on Duhbya's new AG and find out. There's plenty of work due to make the Department of Justice a wee bit more transparent. Get started.
