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.

    Hush..not yet with this..wait

    It would be foolish of Obama to say what he plans to do about the criminals in this adminstration at this time. President Obama may appoint a real Attorney General who would take up these issues and investigate them. (Schumer did us no favors recommending Mukasey.) The criminals in this administration should be jailed, some of them for life, for what they have done. But before that happens we need a new Attorney General and President Obama. O should not tip his hand on this one now.
