Now this is interesting....

Apparently, our Dear Leader (thanks Muckraker and others) is setting up a special interrogation team that will report directly to the White House. Apparently, the White House does not quite "get" why our nation has historically separated these functions from direct control by executive power, as this is a situation tailor made for abuse of political opponents. Or maybe he does.

Either way, I'd like to propose some names for the new team.

Geheime Staatspolizei

Staasi

Komitet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosti.

You're welcome, "Dear Leader."
