Rudy's BFF in prison? I wonder if they'll allow conjugal visits:
Former New York City police Commissioner Bernard Kerik has been sentenced to four years in federal prison.Kerik was hailed as a hero after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. He admitted last year that he lied to the White House while being vetted for chief of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
He also pleaded guilty to tax fraud and six other felonies.
Good choice for Homeland Security, BushCo.

Yesterday, 18 human rights organizations, former State Department officials, and former law enforcement and military leaders — including [ret. Army Maj. Gen. Antonio] Taguba — signed onto a letter asking the President to create a non-partisan commission to investigate the Bush administration’s torture policies. In a new interview with Salon, he explains why:I suspect there will be many a suspected violation of relevant laws.I feel we have to come to terms with policies that have gained such notoriety and have been debated about whether they were in the best interest of our national security, and whether those who created these policies were pressured by their senior leadership. […]
[I support] a structured commission with some form of authority with clear objectives and a follow-on action plan. I’m not looking for anything that is prosecutorial in nature, unless a suspected violation of relevant laws occurred, which should be referred to the Dept of Justice.
