The Washington Independent: Bush Admin Can’t Count on Torture Memos for Cover

    I pretty much agree with what has been stated above. The real problem comes from the fact that all the
    participants in the above scenario are politicians. As such, even the best of them are not really to be trusted. I am sure that you are familiar with the old lawyer joke: Why don't sharks eat lawyers? Professional courtesy. Even for the most egregious behavior, there will probably be a real lack of interest in exposing and correcting the behavior.
    If one adds to the stew the fact that many of the people in the new administration do not have clean hands, themselves, it is difficult to imagine any type of vigorous prosecution of wrongdoing among the bush cabal.
    I hope to be proven wrong.

    President Obama needs to start an investigation immediately upon entering office, on the crimes of the previous administration.
