    Thankfully, President Obama was elected....

    ...however, it's clearly apparent that despite cowardly fears of political damage to the Democratic party that could ensue, we cannot be made whole as a nation, until those who eviscerated and desecrated the Constitution in the previous administration are brought to justice.

    For torture.

    For warrantless wiretapping.

    For indefinite detention without trial.

    All values that are the antithesis of what America is.

    Call them show trials if you will, Bush/Cheney lovers.

    Most will call it cleansing.
