Good morning. I’m just dropping in to see if anyone has seen this story, and if it can be confirmed:

lileks.com

I saw it on HotAir. (Briefly, John Walker Lindh’s attorney is Obama’s choice for a position at Justice.)

I mention this for one reason: Tony Ward is the President’s nominee to head the Justice Department’s Civil Division. If you want to know how far we are past 9/11, there’s your answer: John Walker Lindh’s defense attorney is going to work for Justice. I’m not saying he wouldn’t do a perfectly competent job.
