Link Dump; Update, Update II

I'm still really focused on writing projects right now (with breaks for yaoi) and not commenting on the news, but read Dday at Hullabaloo on the disaster waiting to happen at DoJ, Digby and Glenn Greenwald on Steny Hoyer and the FISA sellout he engineered (although Greenwald also offers a ray of hope), Hilzoy on how we treat our injured veterans, Ed Brayton on the cases against detainees, hiding detainees from the Red Cross, and the myth of released detainees "returning to the battlefield."

And if that doesn't depress you, go out drinking and listen to country music.

Update:

This is worth reading, just so you know that there are some people in the government who still believe in America.

Update II:

Chris Dodd should be the Democratic candidate for president: one of the few opponents of the Village's "business as usual" philosophy. Read this.
