The New Media Journal | Justice Dept. Again Fielding Charges of Partisan Politics: "Besieged during the Bush administration for bending to the White House's will, the Justice Department is again accused of playing politics with cases - this time in investigating whether CIA interrogators illegally abused terror suspects.
The new charges were led Sunday by former Vice President Dick Cheney, who called the preliminary probe ordered last week by Attorney General Eric Holder an 'outrageous political act that will do great damage, long term.'
'I just think it's an outrageous precedent to set, to have this kind of, I think, intensely partisan, politicized look back at the prior administration,' Cheney said in an interview aired on 'Fox News Sunday.'
Cheney lashed out at Holder for what he called a reversal of an earlier pledge by President Barack Obama not to pursue criminal charges against CIA interrogators who sought information from terror suspects about threats against the United States."
