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.
  • Does anyone care about doing what is right?

    Surely the obvious criminality of the Bush administration should not be allowed to get off scot-free? Do we really want a country where the guy who robs a liquor store winds up with Bruno as a long-term roommate, and the perpetrators of mass murder get a complete pass?

    Oh, you say, Bush and his cronies aren't murderers, war criminals, and so on? Fine. But let a court and a jury make that determination.

    They should be held accountable like anyone else.

    But it is true. Obama is basically a typical cowardly Dem and will not raise a finger.
