"Would Obama Hold Bush Accountable?"

more at Smirking Chimp:

"Both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have shied away from the issue of holding George W. Bush and his top aides accountable for war crimes, torture and other offenses – apparently out of fear of alienating potential Republican crossover votes.

But – under questioning on April 14 – Obama agreed that, if elected, he would have his Attorney General initiate an investigation into whether Bush and other senior officials violated criminal statutes and thus deserved to face prosecution.

“What I would want to do is to have my Justice Department and my Attorney General immediately review the information that's already there and to find out are there inquiries that need to be pursued,” Obama told journalist Will Bunch. reference at Philly.com

However, the Illinois senator left himself an out, suggesting he would weigh evidence of Bush’s guilt against the potential political fallout from prosecuting a former President." - emphasis added

1. No .Remember Obama thinks Rev.Wright was justified in his comments so why

would he hold Bush accountable if we got what was coming to us? He doesn't even hold wright "accountable".

8. Has Wright done something illegal?

If not, I am not sure what your point is.

2. Neither Obama nor Hilary nor any Dem in Congress will go after Bush..

...once the election is over...they haven't even considered going after him now when it would be to their benefit to be aggressive...there will once more be the mentality that ocne a Dem President is in there, everything is past and should just be dropped so as to not appear vindictive. Anyway, that's what I've seen in the past.

3. I don't know if it's smart for either of them to reveal their plans for Bushco

BushCo will just work the paper shredders harder if they know an investigation is on the way.
