Indefinite Detention

Unlikely, but even if true, it just puts TPM on the list opposing indefinite detention.

No none of that. I was just curious since people as of late have gotten their panties all in a wad if the source of a link comes from some place other than the Congressional Record. I for one was just curious and I have never heard of TPM.

Ah, sorry.

TPM is a liberal blog, and if I found something through them, I'd try to link to their sources rather than their editorials, if possible. If I couldn't find corroboration, I'd either drop it or put in a strong caveat. If their sources are scans of primary documents on their site, I have no reason to distrust those.

So TPM isn't a source of congressional documents, but I'd say that whatever is in their archive of primary source documents is legit.
