The Civil Rights of many, many innocent people were brutally violated in Iraq by the US, represented by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Woflowitz, Condi Rice, Michael Ledeen among others. Torture is a Human Rights issue. Many of those victims attempted to get some justice in US Courts. Not one succeeded always having their cases thrown out of court for 'National Security' reasons. Some were women, raped, tortured and abused.
And I will never forgive him for overturning the conviction of Sen. Stevens, Republican due to corruption of the process in his case, even though he WAS guilty. I agree with his decision however because corruption of a trial SHOULD have consequences, while refusing to do the same for Democrat, Don Siegelman whose trial was an example of corruption on the part of Republicans, with Karl Rove in the background.
I am glad he is going, but don't have much hope that his replacement will be any more concerned about prosecuting some of the worst crimes in US history than he was.
But I hope I am wrong. 'Justice delayed is justice denied' and there are literally millions of people still waiting for that justice including Don Siegelman.
