    IN THE AMERICA WE HOLD DEAR

    In the America we hold dear, high crimes and misdemeanors are identified and prosecuted in the interest of people. Every person responsible for the atrocities and malfeasance documented in this article should, in our minds, be subject to the judgment of the legal system and ultimately the will of the people.

    The reality is that our Democratic President and Congress for all their pre-election posturing about the failures, weaknesses and conspiracies of the previous administration will sit on their hands when push comes to shove.

    BECAUSE .... THE DEAL HAS ALREADY BEEN STRUCK.

    Some will ask to be excused from the process saying the costs are too great and others will argue that such actions are counter to the healing that we as a nation must undergo.

    If you're demanding Justice and a prison cell for George W. Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, Richard Bruce Cheney, Condoleezza Rice and the countless underlings responsible for the many atrocities visited upon the people, roll over and go back to sleep, there's more nightmare to come.
