Congressman: Holder should expand prosecutor's inquiry to include Cheney By Michael O'Brien - 09/01/09 12:29 PM ET
Attorney General Eric Holder should expand a special prosecutor's investigation into detainee abuse during the Bush administration to include high-ranking officials like Vice President Dick Cheney, Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) said Tuesday.
Nadler defended Holder's decision last week to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the abuse and potential torture conducted by CIA officials during the Bush administration.
"My criticism of the attorney general is that he should not limit the investigation to people in the field who may have committed torture, but to people who may have ordered it, such as the vice president, for example," Nadler said during an interview on Fox News.
Cheney has been a vocal defender of work done during the Bush administration to extract information from terrorist detainees, most recently appearing on "Fox News Sunday" to blast Holder's decision.
"It's an outrageous political act that will do great damage, long-term, to our capacity to be able to have people take on difficult jobs, make difficult decisions, without having to worry about what the next administration is going to say," Cheney said.
Nadler otherwise defended Holder's decision, saying it was the attorney general's obligation to investigate potential violations of the law during the Bush administration.
This guy really wants to start a Civil War doesn’t he?

Their ulimate goal is to railroad Cheney and Bush into prison.
This fat prick should have been on the top floor of the trade center, his fat ass could have never made it to the ground until it fell.
Yes, brilliant. More sympathy for the terrorists than for their victims, and for the general public. Republicans should play this to the hilt and hopefully they can raise even bigger bucks.
Mr. Creosote, please eat just one more thin wafer...
Clearly he's gone insane due to hunger in America. Quick, get that man a sandwich or a ham hock to gnaw on before he becomes a danger to himself and the community...
Holder needs to be investigated by the IRS. We are all subject to audit at any time.
Holder is a prime candidate.
I’m starting to think the Democrats have a secret desire to self destruct. Go ahead Holder do it and see what happens.
NY Congressmen are far-left whackjobs. Glad I don’t live in that state.
Nadler is probably the most anti American congress creature of all time. And that is saying a lot.
Hello Newman.
The very purpose of the investigation is to broaden it at a later time to ensnare Cheney and Bush. These clowns want Bush and Cheney in the dock.
Ha! He actually makes Newman look svelte...but there is a resemblance.
Anyone investigated by the special prosecutor should invoke their right not to answer any questions at all. After all, the questioners can’t threaten them with anything - that would violate their rights.
Nadler is a lot smaller since his gastric by-pass. Still an obnoxious societal engineering lout, but smaller.
His head still looks pretty big.
