the current crop of pundits and "journalists" are as much to blame for the mess we are in as the people in government. Disgusting lot, the whole bunch of them.

In other words; the Obama administration is only going to follow the law when it's politically convenient. Well, the more things change the more they stay the same. Welcome to Bush 2.0.

Kornblut's husband dumped her and now he's fucking Savannah Guthrie. Pretty good trade I think.

So your saying that everyone at Gitmo is a terrorist? What of the people who aren't and weren't terroists? They get no say? Or are they just terrorists because you say so.

[renijohn012270]

There is no need for terrorist's to attack America after 9/11. Their goal was to have us attack ourselves and they have succeeded! They are watching us use the constitution as a peice of toilet paper with Gitmo, Abu Grab, The Patriot Act, Wire Tapping and they have concluded that there is no need for now to attack America because the NeoCon republican base has already ATTACKED AMERICA! The Terrorist's are succeeding because the past 7 years, America lost the foundation of who we are as a nation!

They sound like a bunch of Nazis. Literally. I wonder if they would present the same argument in regard to the average criminal or murderer; "You know, it happened in the past and, to be honest, we're trying to move forward. Plus, it would be costly to investigate. Let's just leave it to the historians and reporters; you know, the people who have no authority to actually punish these criminals."

There are two set of rules, we are nothing more then a nation of hypocrites,thieves and liars:

Robbing and lying to us wrecking the economy and stealing from us for the banks is proof America is NOT, nor has been, the country I've fight and bled for.

[thoughtchallenge]

The prospect of lower level administration officials being held accountable in civil court or even criminal courts is more likely. Obama will not carry the political baggage of prosecuting Bush, until the public becomes outraged by revelations of significant misdeeds.

[xenomorph42]

It'll never, ever happen. We need to move on. Obama is not that stupid. Also, a whole lot of worms would come out of the can were that to happen.

[UTBESUX]

diffidatio well said! You are right on the money!

[UTBESUX]

Let's not forget CLINTON said the same thing about BUSH SR. And all those men who were involved in criminal activity followed Bush Jr. to the White House and you see where that got us. SOMETHING needs to be done, they are CRIMINALS!
