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.

    So

    First, Thank you Mr. Bush for 8 years of terror free strikes upon the U.S.. War is war and we are the only Country who acts like we have to treat terrorist like they have rights. THEY HAVE NONE. If someone ended up in one of our army prisons, it probably wasn't by accident, it just doesn't happen that way, they don't pluck innocent people off the street. And we don't know whether torture happened or not, or if it was an issolated incident, other than what the lieing liberal press reported, and you know what they thought of Bush, so they will spew any crap to get a headline.

    So in conclusion, I believe NOTHING the liberal press prints, and I do back Obama, he's our President, and if a terrorist was tortured tough stuff. I remember over 4,000 innocent men, women, and children that were basically burned alive by these so called terrorist, and I had friends there.

    Obama won, time to get down to the real problems and quit worrying about further bashing of Bush.
