We will end up with a list of recommendations, no prosecutions, and a lot of white washing.
Is it better than nothing? Maybe, but that is a very tepid maybe. The idea here is to feign outrage, wring the hands a bit, and then pat backs behind closed doors.
Obama loses major points if this thing slips out of our very short collective memory.
McClatchy: Pressure grows on Obama to call for interrogation panel
The political oxygen in the nation's capital is now being consumed by rancor over the interrogations. That's why several experts on Congress and previous high-profile investigations think that it's increasingly likely that Obama will call for an independent panel, outside Congress, similar to the 9/11 Commission that examined the 2001 attacks.

Yes, a 9/11 type truth Commission will just be a platform for Cheney and the BV$HIES to justify their crimes. What;s needed is all of this to go to the courts. These thugs escaped in Ford's time and we can now see that allowing Tricky to go Free was merely delaying and emboldening his flunkies. Almost all of these people are old Nixon thugs with a grievance that goes back to Watergate. Well, they've lost again and this time we shouldn't let them go. if a few bad Apple Dems. go with them that's ok to.
I suspect nothing is going to happen.
I think when a new president is elected they must grab the guy, throw him in the basement and make him swear to a set of unholy and ungodly rules. The first rule is never screw with your predecessor.
