If Republicans on Tuesday win the majority of seats in the House, that body's intelligence panel is likely to give fresh oversight of the Obama administration's prosecution review of the CIA's enhanced interrogation program.
Rep. Peter Hoekstra of Michigan, the highest-ranking Republican on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, told The Washington Times last week that he would expect the next Republican chairman of the committee to hold hearings on how the threat of prosecutions has affected the CIA's morale.
"I expect vigorous oversight of this administration now," Mr. Hoekstra said. "What has been the impact of [Attorney General Eric H.] Holder's review of potential prosecutions of CIA folks involved in interrogation program? What has been the impact in the field?"
He added that a review would look at the administration's handling of the closure of the U.S. military's detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Spokesmen for the Justice Department and the CIA offered no comment.
On Aug. 24, 2009, the Justice Department launched a review of whether CIA officers interrogating terrorism suspects overseas violated U.S. criminal law.
The decision was based in part on a 2004 CIA inspector general report on what is known as the enhanced interrogation program, which included a network of overseas prisons where CIA officers and U.S. contractors questioned captured terrorism suspects.
At the time, Mr. Holder said his review of the CIA inspector general report, which the White House later declassified in part, prompted him to launch the probe.

Can an Attorney General be impeached, convicted and removed? Has this ever happened before?
Causing morale problems is what this fascist regime does best. The military, the Border Patrol, the CIA... The only agency who I see telling Barry to ‘shove it’ is the FBI. Of course, the FBI knows where all the skeletons are buried. Barry and his boys wouldn’t dare screw with those guys.
Maybe Holder wants to bring in his black pampers to debrief the CIA? F/n ridiculous priorities.
Excerpt:
"IF Alberto Gonzales will not resign, Congress should impeach him. Article II of the Constitution grants Congress the power to impeach “the president, the vice president and all civil officers of the United States.” The phrase “civil officers” includes the members of the cabinet (one of whom, Secretary of War William Belknap, was impeached in 1876)."
Or about 25 feet of rope.
There’s much to be said for that.
Arizona’s attack by Erk H. splits with the CIA in urgency. Oversite of Erk Holder needs to be serious and expeditious, not drug the heck out for a year of dogfights with the losers in Congress, and move fast on to state rights protections. Outrageous what is going on against AZ by AG thugs. How does this differ from in your face tyranny, somebody explain? And what is much more important than crooked voting machines, intimidation and skullduggery? This is the foundation of our freedom and we hear the Union, in some states, repairs the faulty machines. Uh-uh.
The Czars on the other hand, are not impeachable. If we want to get rid of them, we have to use the methods our founding forefathers used.
I’d rather have them investigate ACORN.
More clear evidence and the trail leads directly to the Whitehouse.
