Good on ya, Rig.

On the other hand, if Bush, et al, committed genuine crimes- and I don't think there is much doubt of that - then in my opinion they must be prosecuted. If they are not, successive administrations will carry on with it.

Breaches of the US Constitution, crimes against ratified strictures forbidding coercive interrogations with its clearly defined methods - hey, we even prosecuted other nations who used those means against our forces! What were they thinking?? - and just lots of other crimes against the state and its people. There is even treason committed, in my opinion, and in the opinion of many people who have the education to know. Wonder what Sam Ervin would have to say today!.

I don't even insist that Gush himself must be brought to the bar- but he surrounded himself with lowlifes with a sense of entitlement who clearly over-stepped the line of law and decency. Repeatedly.
