By Mike Whitney

Bernanke should welcome the opportunity to show everyone how he's pulled the world's biggest economy back from the brink of disaster.

Although Bush Justice Department prosecutors claimed they didn’t have the facts to support prosecuting anyone for the mysterious deaths and disappearances of detainees hauled out of Bagram and Abu Ghraib in body bags, the photographs — which two courts have now ordered the Obama administration to turn over — would seem likely to provide some of the missing evidence.
