Obama on accountability for Bush:


http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/attytood/Barack_on_torture.html

>>>

Tonight I had an opportunity to ask Barack Obama a question that is on the minds of many Americans, yet rarely rises to the surface in the great ruckus of the 2008 presidential race -- and that is whether an Obama administration would seek to prosecute officials of a former Bush administration on the revelations that they greenlighted torture, or for other potential crimes that took place in the White House.


Obama said that as president he would indeed ask his new Attorney General and his deputies to "immediately review the information that's already there" and determine if an inquiry is warranted -- but he also tread carefully on the issue, in line with his reputation for seeking to bridge the partisan divide. He worried that such a probe could be spun as "a partisan witch hunt." However, he said that equation changes if there was willful criminality, because "nobody is above the law."
>>>>>>


At this point, WHETHER YOU REALIZE IT OR NOT, those of you who are supporting Clinton AFTER Obama has laid this accountability card on the table are now supporting the continuing protection of BushInc into the next decade just as Bill did for Poppy Bush throughout the 90s.
