| 4. Nope. How about someone we've never heard of who still |
 |
cherishes the rule of law but isn't into being involved with the media?
That would be refreshing.

| 5. About the WORST possible choice |
 |
He's already on the record multiple times calling what the Bush adminsitration did criminal and war crimes. It would be a forgone conclusion and look like a political witch hunt.
Nope, has to be somebody completley above the fray in this.

| 6. I wonder if he has been out there to much on this one though... He has appeared on KO and... |
 |
a bunch of other shows many times with respect to this torture issue. Would that compromise him on being unbiased? I would love to see him appointed to this though....

| 9. No. He belongs in front of the camera setting the stage. |

The legal work will be done by others. With much different personalities and skills.

| 11. I love Turley, but he's a professor! I think a special investigator should |
 |
have a background in criminal investigations, AN experience in constitutional law. I can't think of anyone to recommend, but I'm sure Holder etc. know some.
