Reporting
from Washington -- U.S. Atty. Gen. Eric H. Holder Jr. is poised to
appoint a criminal prosecutor to investigate alleged CIA abuses
committed during the interrogation of terrorism suspects, current and
former U.S. government officials said.
A senior Justice Department official said that Holder envisioned
an inquiry that would be narrow in scope, focusing on "whether people
went beyond the techniques that were authorized" in Bush administration
memos that liberally interpreted anti-torture laws.
