Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
Would Obama prosecute the Bush administration for torture? Obama's brain trust wants to form a commission on torture and call Bush officials as witnesses, but put off prosecutions -- if any -- till a second term.
  • The answer is a short one:

    No.

    There will be no prosecution of GWB because the Obama administration will be doing the exact same thing.

    Wake up people - it doesn't matter who's in office - their hands will be dirtied. It's "part of the job." Whether it's Clinton or Reagan or Carter or Johnson or ... you can't be president without a lot of blood on your hands. It's what America wants, and they won't permit someone in the Oval who is a boy scout. He'll be out of there faster than you can say "arms for hostages."
