Peter, I think we actually disagree very little. Holding those who formulated these policies should be dealt with and addressed primarily by the justice system. Obama has essentially backed up and said that.

For the legal system to be reinstated, it seems to me that not only must the justice system be empowered to operate independent from political pressures to foster "power" agendas, but the population must also believe the system is operating independently and impartially.

It seems to me that the most effective use of the "Bully Pulpit" is not to make statements about who will or will not prosecuted, but to advocate in words, and to practice, by transparent deed, policies that foster an independent judiciary and that allow the justice department the independence to fully explore and then follow the appropriate course of action based on our laws and constitution.

I am not worried that this administration will attempt to sweep this under the rug. And I think it clear that national debate and discussion will continue. However, this is not the only important issue pertaining to social justice that needs rectified. What has happened with the financial system, the gutting of worker rights, the lack of universal health care are all important social justice issues where the rights and needs of people have been strongly eroded, and not just during the last 8 years.
