The guy has done an awful lot of good too.

"As U.S. Attorney, Mr. Holder created a Domestic Violence Unit to more effectively handle those types of tragic cases, implemented a community prosecution project to work hand in hand with residents and local government agencies in order to make neighborhoods safer, supported a renewed enforcement emphasis on hate crimes so that criminal acts of intolerance would be severely punished, developed a comprehensive strategy to improve the manner in which agencies handled cases involving the abuse of children, launched a community outreach program to reconnect the U.S. Attorney's office with the citizens it serves, revitalized the Victim/Witness Assistance Program to better serve those individuals who were directly affected by crime and developed "Operation Ceasefire," an initiative designed to reduce violent crime by getting guns out of the hands of criminals."

3. I'm good with this decision.

I think that he will be a fair and honest AG.

4. I'm pleased there's a core of decency

I will keep an open mind about his corporate ties, wait to learn more. I wish other people would learn to look at the entirety of people and policies and not just pluck one line or thought out as the entirety of someones life.

5. I would like to see Holder

come out with an overt statement, vetted by the transition team, on the organizing in Columbia.

I wouldn't hold it against him to have represented a client charged with being involved, but PeacePatriot makes a compelling case about the atrocities committed and uninvestigated in Colombia.

I am not the kind of attorney that can represent the guilty but many are. (Perhaps that is why I am out of work these days.)
