44, Day 92: About Those Interrogations
An ongoing log of the daily activities of the 44th president of the United States during his first 100 days:
-After saying the government wouldn't prosecute CIA agents who interrogated terror suspects with tactics that are now illegal, President Obama today said he could see where a bipartisan commission might be warranted to investigate the Bush administration's actions.
-Obama today signed into law legislation to spend $5.7 billion on a national service plan that should allow the AmeriCorps program to nearly quadruple over the next eight years ... The president also tapped Maria Eitel, president of the Nike Foundation, as chief executive of the Corporation for National and Community Service.
-Personnel watch: Here's something you don't see too often, a high-ranking White House official leaving her job only three months into a presidency but that's what communications director Ellen Moran is doing. Moran will vacate her West Wing office to become chief of staff to Commerce Secretary Gary Locke.
