UPDATE: Adjourned around 12:45 p.m. EST

This morning starting at 10:00 a.m. EST, the House Judiciary Sub-Committee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties will be holding an Oversight Hearing on the Inhuman, and Degrading Treatment of Detainees: The Effectiveness and Consequences of "Enhanced" Interrogation.

This may be a humdinger as one of the witnesses, former Navy Seal instructor, Malcom W. Nance has already warned that there will be a spectacle on C-Span if his integrity is questioned.

Please DO NOT RECOMMEND this diary. Recommend the Mothership.

UPDATE: GO TO PART 5 HERE

The hearing is titled "Private Security Firms in Iraq" will cover "the mission and performance of Blackwater USA and its affiliated companies in Iraq and Afghanistan and to review whether the reliance of the U.S. government on private security contractors is serving U.S. interests in Iraq". It is being held by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee; chaired by Henry Waxman.

The hearing will address three key questions: (1) Is Blackwater's presence advancing or undermining U.S. efforts? (2) Has State Department responded appropriately to the shooting incidents involving Blackwater forces? (3) What are the costs to U.S. taxpayers for the reliance on Blackwater and other private military contractors?

UPDATE 12:55PM ET Hearing adjourned.

Thanks to Lurks a Lot for starting the liveblog on this hearing. The Senate Judiciary Committee is always better than any Committee in the House so hopefully this will be an interesting hearing.

It's McConnell redux on the Hill today, this time with SJC. I'm wondering if anyone will pursue McConnell's "selective declassification" from previous hearings as summarized in drational's diary from yesterday.

There's no Mothership so PLEASE RECOMMEND THIS DIARY

Part 4 is up Here

Part 3 is up Here

And the US Attorney scandal just keeps bringing us the hits - today it's Bradley Schlozman and Todd Graves testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee. You may remember Schlozman from such classics as Evidence Mounts in DoJ Tampering w/ Voter Rolls and GOP Voter Fraud Bigwig Complained to White House about Canned U.S. Attorney. You can catch his latest on C-SPAN3.

As always, NO PICTURES! Yes; this means you and even a teency-weency one is verboten.

UPDATE

Pardon my inaccuate memory...here's the actual quote:

"that little monkey gets loose, doesn't he,"

H/T to Too Little Sleep

(previous title, my inaccurate memory of "look at that monkey run")

Forgive my indulgence, but I hope I can make this the "be all, end all" of the Imus diaries today. If you remember the title quote, follow me over the fold....

I was reading The New Yorker this morning (a ritual, such as it is) when I came across The Financial Page: Troubled Waters Over Oil. What troubled me upon reading it was the effect that the bellicose statements by the Bush administration about Iran have on the Risk Permium on oil. In a nutshell, the more Bush blathers on about Iran, the more money Iran makes from oil.

More over the jump....
