Justice Department has not recommended pressing any charges against anybody
in the Bush administration other than a possible slap on the wrist to a
couple of lawyers.

Olbermann is having a hissy fit.
Who's going to join him?

That's too bad...not the Olbermann part, but the reluctance to
prosecute. I was hoping to see Cheney waterboarded on the National Mall
just before his head was chopped off.

And what punishment do you propose for chronic liars?

I want to know what lawyers wrote the opinions stating that rendition
was legal? What's worse water boarding a terrorist or giving a terrorist
to a country for them to do worse than water boarding?

And Obama with all the pork and Murtha + other scandals may not want to open
up that can of Whoop Ass. In 4 years, Obama and his crowd could be up on
charges of looting the country. Has been the case for a couple hundred
years not to go after the previous administration. Look out if you do and
you lose the Presidency. And with comments like The Obama Brand.

GW Bush would be up on charges right now if the criteria were looting
the country.

As AG, it's against the law to not prosecute those you know violated
the law. The AG knows this and will have to find a way to deal with
it. We knowingly tortured prisoners on dubious legal foundations.

If the US doesn't clean up it's own mess, there are others who will
reluctantly or gladly take up the mantle, however distasteful that may
be.

Hannity volunteered to be waterboarded for charity. Unless he punks out,
I think I'd pay for view to watch that.

If it were for real, I would, too. Olbermann offered him $1000 for each
second he endured, until he was forced to reveal some sort of
significant secret.

I think you jumped the gun. They reported that criminal prosecution
of the lawyers who crafted the memos would not take place but they
didn't rule out anyone else. There's also rumors that tne lawyers may
face disbarment proceedings.

I'm holding out for public waterboarding of Cheney, followed by
beheading on the national mall. For the lesser criminals in the Bush
Administration who pushed for torture, burial up to the neck in moist
dirt in a field full of fire ants.

It's not torture. We don't torture.

The fact that the JD investigative team omitted any recommendations for
prosecution is what is newsworthy and meaningful.

Obama doesn't want it, so it won't happen. Remember, he may make "mistakes"
in judgment also.

I'm not a very vengeful person. So it would be easy for me to leave this
in the past. ITOH, there is the future. We do need to understand how it
happened to prevent it from happening again. It's a tough call that I'm
glad I don't have to make.

Looting the country? $1.8 Trillion buckeroos this year alone. Now that is
looting!!!!
