116. Anyone who broke the law should be held accountable...
starting with those that conspired to and endorsed torture.

I just think the GOP is trying to deflect from the fact that they committed war crimes by claiming the other party knew about it. I don't know what they knew and we should find out BUT FIRST we should prosecute the Bush Admin. If we don't, they'll get off for sure!

If you just start going after people like Pelosi for instance if she knew war crimes were being committed, it will end up being all about her and what the Dems knew instead of Bush and Company actually asking for legal documents to be written up to justify war crimes they intended to commit. AND DID COMMIT!

As far as the war, which I also felt was illegal, nothing is going to happen with that. It's just not. If your local reps voted for it, then campaign against them, but nothings going to happen legally.

For what it's worth, I don't believe the Democrats "authorized" torture and I question what they actually knew. It's worth investigating after (or in conjunction with) a complete investigation of the Bush Admin war crimes.

Holding the Democrats accountable is one thing. Letting the Bush Admin blame Pelosi for what they did maliciously, deliberatly and believing they were above the law, is just wrong.
