By allowing the Bush administration to leave office and not be confronted with the ramifications of their actions, we set the stage for future leaders to make the same mistakes. The country wants retribution for criminal acts committed by foreigners, but not by our own officials? This thought escapes me. They have stripped away our civil liberties, invaded our privacy, and sent our families to war based on lies. How can we just let them get away with that? For Christ sake, look at where he has led our country!!!! Obama will definitely be bombarded with other issues, but who's to say he can't form a commission or a task force of attorneys to work on this while he focuses on his other work. The voters are more energized and organized than ever before. We should be pouncing on that gusto and utilizing their efforts. Grass roots movement to demand an investigation anyone?? It's a shame that our congress and senate would be hesitant to prosecute Bush for fear of their own demise. They are in civil service, their job is not just to keep the country running, but also to protect the constitution and the rights and freedoms of American people. If it means they are at fault, perhaps they shouldn't be in office in the first place.
