Bush Administration - Should Congress Investigate or Not?

Policies of the Bush administration have been criticized for subverting elements of the Constitution, violating treaty obligations, and obstructing justice. The suspension of habeas corpus for US citizens was reversed by the Supreme Court in Hamdi v. Rumsfeld, 542 U.S. 507 (2004). Domestic spying has included undercover infiltration of political organizations with no suspected terrorist affiliations, telephone surveillance without a warrant, and the Carnivore program for internet surveillance. The policy of holding enemy combatants in a legal status, outside of either due process of criminal prosecution or the Geneva conventions for prisoners of war, created a legal limbo without a process for adjudication or appeal. The extraordinary rendition of an innocent citizen of Canada, to Syria, caused an international incident involving kidnapping, wrongful imprisonment and torture.[

The ICC (International Criminal Court) should go after the Bush Admin and co-conspirators not Congress.

I pray that they already have a case pending and are looking into this as we speak or type in this case.

There should be an investigation but now isn't the time for Obama to go after Bush, last thing we should spend money on.

It is imperative that Bush/Cheney be prosecuted for thee war crimes that he committed and even admitted.

The constitution is only a document that our whole political and social system is based on. EITHER IT APPLIES TO ALL PEOPLE- (EVEN PRESIDENTS) OR NOT!!
