CIA Chief Michael Hayden met with Senate Intelligence Committee members yesterday to answer questions about the destruction of tapes of interrogations of key Guantanamo Bay detainees. Hayden is scheduled to meet with House Intelligence Committee members today for the same reason. If all goes the same, the intelligence officer will tell them, also, that he knows little about the subject, and blame his predecessors for the whole fiasco.

Meanwhile, former CIA operative John Kiriakou says waterboarding was approved at the "highest levels" as an interrogation technique. Kiriakou says he was subjected to the torture technique in training, which simulates drowning, and said he cracked almost immediately. Kiriakou says he did not personally use the technique because of moral issues, but that it did save many lives, apparently referring to all the bad guys we were able to kill before they killed anybody.

Attorney General Michael Mukasey is taking the matter seriously. The head of the Justice Department is planning to read the laws someday soon.

He suffered a mild heart attack yesterday, but the 67 year-old host of Jeopardy is expected to fully recover. Who is Alex Trebeck?

Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee asks if Mormons believe Satan is the brother of Jesus in an upcoming article. The GOP hopeful says he knows little about the Mormon faith, and, apparently, is determined as hell to prove that he means what he says.

In sports, LeBron James returned from his injury, scoring 17 points in 22 minutes in a reserve role, in the Cavs 118-105 win over the Indiana Pacers. Asked when the last time he did not start a game in which he played, King James replied, "Uh, never." The win ended a six game skid for the Cavaliers, who lost all the games its star missed because of the injury. James had warned other teams to get their wins against his team while he was out, and, apparently, is determined as hell to prove that he means what he says.

Finally, among the 29 convicts whose sentences President Bush pardoned yesterday was 64 year-old Charles Jordan. The Dover, Pennsylvania grandfather was convicted for his role in a college football and NFL gambling ring. Jordan asked for the pardon because he did not want his eight grandchildren to know he was a felon. Jordan said, "I didn't know what the odds were for getting one. I just sent the stuff in and hoped." Word is, though, that he is giving twenty-to-one for the Jets over the Patriots this weekend.
