    For torture of the United States of America?

    I say, let's get Bush and his cronies out of D.C. and ban them to Texas--a proper sentence and punishment. I think most of us would be happy not to ever hear any of this administration's names and misdeeds ever again. Nor will we forget the worst administration this country has ever witnessed.

    Obama will have too many other things to take care of to get this country back up out of the gutter. Let's concentrate on that.
