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.

    You've Got It All Wrong

    War crimes are international in scope. They should be adjudicated by an international court.

    My guess is that on January 18, 2009, Bush will pardon Cheney, then resign his office. On January 19, 2009, President Cheney's one and only act will be to pardon former President Bush.

    Then Cheney will resign and he and Bush will fly to their an undisclosed location in a specially stocked bunker out of the country (or Alaska.) Laura and Lynne will cook the antelope that George and Dick bring home every afternoon.

    President Pelosi will not give President-elect Obama the keys to the White House until he promises to let her use Air Force One to fly back and forth between Washington and San Francisco.

    I've been predicting this for a long time.

    All the best...
