Though I am in favor of investigating the Bush Administration's crimes, I'm afraid of what the political fallout would mean for the Dems. This could backfire on the Democratic Congress and Obama in a way that bailouts and beefing up regulation of the markets can't. I can see Mitch McConnell right now arguing that Obama cares so much about the rights of terrorists over "innocent Americans." The Dems in Congress have been so craven over the past year that I worry whether or not this issue might limit Obama to one term. Independents WILL side with the Republicans if the Dems allow them to frame the issue.
