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.

    American War Criminals

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but pardons apply only inside the USA. War criminals can, and perhaps should, be tried internationally, at the Hague.

    I can't imagine that our newly elected officials, who believe that war crimes were committed, could simply ignore such a thing. To heal these wounds to our very fabric, this country needs to see those responsible for American war crimes brought to justice. We imprison more citizens than any country on the planet, yet our representatives would let known war criminals just get away with their crimes?

    For the love of God & justice, I hope not.
