PTL. No let's move on: No Charges Filed on Harsh Tactics Used by the C.I.A.
From The New York Times:
Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. announced Thursday that no one would be prosecuted for the deaths of a prisoner in Afghanistan in 2002 and another in Iraq in 2003, eliminating the last possibility that any criminal charges will be brought as a result of the brutal interrogations carried out by the C.I.A.
Mr. Holder’s decision in 2009 to open a new investigation into the C.I.A. interrogations was sharply criticized by some former intelligence officials and Republicans in Congress. The harsh interrogation methods, including the near-drowning of waterboarding, had been authorized in Justice Department legal opinions, and the deaths in custody had been previously reviewed by prosecutors during Mr. Bush’s presidency.

Sid,
Hello. My name is Charles Dean. I'm Sr. Campaign Advisor for the Messinger for Congress Campaign in the GA 1st District.
Lesli and Tom Oxnard are working together to unseat Jack Kingston. Lesli's campaign is in full throttle and we have an excellent chance of unseating Kingston.
We have nearly 1,500 volunteers across many of the 17 counties that make up the 1st CD. I would like to enlist your help and put a ground-game together in Coffee County. Tom's away on vacation, otherwise I would have obtained your email address from him.
Anyway, we would love to enlist your assistance. We're looking for a venue for a "meet and greet" in Douglas, as well as someone to help our volunteers canvas the area. We understand that the County isn't deep in Democrats, but every vote counts. Please feel free to email me at Charles@messinger4congress.com my phone number is 912.349.0643 Lesli's campaign website is www.messinger4congress.com
I must tell you that due to redistricting, there are about equal numbers of Democrats and Republicans in the District. We've got a serious ground-game in key counties, plenty of name-recognized endorsements and the backing of the GDP. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Charlie
