Obama's plans for probing Bush torture

President Bush could pardon officials involved in brutal interrogations -- but he may also face a sweeping investigation under the new president.

    While I understand the desire to probe and torture Bush,

    I feel that this is a task more suited to space aliens or perhaps one of our friends to which we have "rendered" suspected terrorists. It simply is unseemly for a sitting President to probe, torture or otherwise administer justice to his predecessor. Don't we have some friends in Syria, Egypt or Pakistan who have both the expertise and facilities to get all the information we would want from Mr. Bush and then there is that crack government in Iraq that we have set up who so aptly dealt with Saddam Hussein in a dignified and proper manner suiting a leader such as Mr. Bush.

    Oh wait, Obama's birth certificate is a forgery. Maybe he better just let Bush and his cronies escape justice. Let's forget the whole last 8 years.

    Just like Clinton and that drug smuggling operation in Mena Arkansas which saved Bush I and Reagan from scrutiny and justice.
