Jason Leopold reports that Rep. John Conyers (Democrat-MI), the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, and Rep. Jerrold Nadler (Democrat-NY) have formally requested that Attorney General Eric Holder appoint a special prosecutor to investigate officials in the Bush administration on charges of torture.
I am not sure what Holder will do, but my immediate take on the situation is that he'll have no choice but move forward with this.
The nation and the world need him to do so.
