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.

    Political Expediency

    Obama will have enough on his hands, other than give Bush people more publicity. Congress, with the approval of American voters, allowed George Bush and his thugs to invade Iraq, torture anyone who looks like a Muslim, and run roughshod in the Middle East. Did I forget oil? How about oil at $140 a barrel? It wasn't until Obama went to the Middle East that the price of oil dropped. That is the audacity of hope. I trust the media will play up whichever story gets the most readers, Obama great, or Obama bad.
