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 Fool

    You are an idiot -- a completely disingenuous asshole. Fuck off.

    How am I disingenuous? Is it because you don't agree with what I say or is it because you know me personally and are an astute judge of my character. since you don't know me I'm guessing it's the previous reason.

    Am I disingenuous because I lean to the right but find myself on a very left news site. Or perhaps I just enjoy getting as many views on events as possible. I want to know what all factions are thinking, luckily since I was a victim of the mortgage meltdown i now have the time to pursue and get all the various takes on the news to my heart's content.

    But The Fool please explain to me how I am disingenuous since your initial attack was lacking in any substance other then being Ad Homen. I would like to understand what leads you to this revelation.
