The Chicago Reader site is impressive — I’d never heard of them before. I’m glad to see that type of writing is still alive and kicking, despite Murray’s troubles.

Agreed, Shirley, and a bucket of civil suits are on the way. Cheryl, they weren’t prosecuted for the torture because they lied like rugs about it and the police and county hierarchy supported them. Who knew there was a statute of limitations on torture? That in itself is depressing. Other than that, all the news is good, good, good. Bag Lady, if you read comments, note that we’re all moving north to share in Canada’s economic miracle!

It does the heart good when a crooked public official like this gets what he deserves! Reminds me of Stephen Griles, the Deputy Sec. of the Interior in the Bush/Cheney administration, who got caught lying to Senate investigators about his involvement in the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal. He got Federal prison time for obstruction of justice.

I did not know about this. I’ll have to read the files but I’m wondering why he wasn’t prosecuted on the torture, as well. So torture is okay as long as you don’t lie about it?? Sounds like they channeled the Bush administration.
