Obama v. the National Intelligence Estimate on Iran

    Sam Husseini says it best

    When asked about the possibility of prosecuting Bush administration officials for criminal activity, Obama yesterday said: "I don't believe that anybody is above the law. On the other hand, I also have a belief that we need to look forward as opposed to looking backwards."

    If the criteria is not looking backward, then why prosecute the people held in Gitmo at all? Why prosecute anyone? Why try to go after Bin Ladin?
