  • Defense lawyers for Guantanamo detainees are claiming that many of the Obama administration’s proposed changes to the military commission system are cosmetic, and say they plan to keep challenging the system. (The New York Times)
  • Intelligence officers are saying they’re concerned about whether the CIA can conduct interrogations effectively under the new rules laid out for the military. (The Washington Post)
  • Unlike many in Washington and the press, most Americans don’t automatically side with the agency in its dispute with Nancy Pelosi. About 43 percent of respondents to a survey say it’s at least somewhat likely that she was lied to by the CIA about waterboarding, while 41 percent say the CIA likely did not lie to her. (USA Today)
  • Irving Picard, the trustee for the Madoff firm, has sued Fairfield Greenwich, the largest feeder fund for Madoff, alleging that it “should have known” that Madoff’s operation was fraudulent. (Wall Street Journal)
  • And just so we’re clear, lap dancers and cocaine didn’t cause the financial crisis. (Bloomberg News)
