The restoration of America rests not in elections, transitions or bailouts. It will happen with the restoration of justice.
Bush may indeed issue pardons to himself and anyone else involved in the kidnap, torture, abuse, degradation and murder of human beings, some of them American Citizens.
If there is such thing as poetic justice, may we make one last use of Extraordinary Rendition in the face if a blanket pardon:
Send Bush, Cheney, Rummy, Condi and all the other guilty felons to the Countries of which their victims screamed in agony, rotted in darkness and bled to death. Also included would be the originator of Extraordinary Rendition, Bill Clinton, who carried out these acts with the same craven immorality with which he beckoned Monica across the Oval Office.
Should these capital felons prefer to be dealt with by American Justice instead of the fate that awaits them in Iraq, Afghanistan and Serbia, they can waive or refuse their right to pardon and be tried and sentenced here in America.
