Great video Olbermann keep up the good work!! 100% correct

Torture is criminal. Bush should have been impeached - checks and balances. It's unlikely & perhaps unwise for Obama to go after Bush w/ criminal charges; it would open an ugly can of worms, set a nasty precedent, be horribly divisive, distract from a positive agenda, & still probably fail. Bush can issue pardons to pretty much anyone. It's unlikely that he would ever be convicted.

The failure is that of Congress, not Obama. Perhaps Congress should be censured?

One has to pick one's battles.

I'll vote to re-elect Obama but the only enthusiasm for doing so will arise from the realization that any of the Repub mongoloids, if elected, would be a disaster of unmitigated proportions.

The sad fact that this very average Obama would look the other way on the myriad of crimes and misdeeds of the Bush Adm, is sickening. I expected a lot more from him when I vote for him in 08. Well, we'll see what happens.

@talllikelurchis It doesn't matter who supports or opposes torture. It is still illegal. Could you please show me some of this independent peer reviewed evidence which shows that torture worked? Olbermann is dramatic. Who cares?

[talllikelurchis]

@deathleopards The charge: approving brutal methods -- seen by many as illegal torture -- that were also supported Democrats as well including Nancy Pelosi, the House speaker, and other Intelligence! LOL! There is a body of evidence suggesting that brutal interrogation methods may indeed have saved lives, perhaps a great many lives, but when the records were suggested to go public Hillary Clinton blocked them....Biased Olbermann the king of propandist journalism doesn't want you to know that!

[deathleopards]

@talllikelurchis First of all, there has never been a situation like this so, it's an unrealistic example. Second, torture has been proven to be ineffective and, has only extracted incorrect information. Thirdly, there is something called the rule of law. It means, no matter how you feel or what you think of an issue, you still strictly follow the law. As for using torture, once you use it, it becomes more common.Then people like you come into power and torture every person with an opposing view

[talllikelurchis]

@deathleopards So if your family was in danger and the only way to "SAVE" them.....was to torture the person with knowledge of saving them and torture was your only option of preventing their deaths.......you wouldn't torture them? Honestly......is America not worth protecting?........America haters like Olbermann should be tortured for instilling hate in people.

[deathleopards]

Why should we do that? Why does he hate America? Because he voices his views and questions the people in power? That is what a true American does. Not someone who blindly agrees with those in power. Shouldn't true Americans stand up and be above horrible things like torture?

[talllikelurchis]

Someone should torture, Olbermann, the most American hating piece of shit in the U.S.!

[giounds]

"Lets step down to reality, does anything here thing we imprison bush?"

Huh?

Actually I'm a democrat, you can tell that by the channels I subscribe to.

I'm prochoice, progayrights, antigun, I believe in taxing the rich a bit more to help the poor out more.

Don't you feel stupid now?

I'm a democrat, but that doesn't mean I have to agree with all the views of my fellow peers.

Get down to reality. This is the CIA. No one in their right mind would persecute their own countrymen and patriots, for them taking advantage of a loophole.
