The only good news is that, last week, along with Sen. Russ Feingold (Wis.), Sen. Richard Durbin (Ill.), and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (R.I.), Sen. Kennedy signed a letter asking Mukasey to delay issuing the new guidelines until they have been made public and until there has been time for Congressional, national security and civil liberties experts to weigh in on them.
The ACLU has written to Kennedy to say thank you, and we urge others to do the same. While you’re at it, you can write to Michael Mukasey, too.
And finally, here’s a little levity, to remind us just how fast what used to seem like a joke, well, isn’t anymore.
Please share widely!
