Cass Sunstein

Is it true that you are rationalizing not prosecuting the criminals in the Bush administration because “Prosecuting government officials risks a "cycle" of criminalizing public service”?

I must say that is a horribly upper class elitist attitude. All criminals in the lower classes get prosecuted.

These criminals are responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent humans.

They have indiscriminately tortured people in the name of the United States.

They are responsible for the misery of thousands in this country.

They are responsible for the possible economic destruction of this country.

For a more complete list see the articles of impeachment submitted by Rep Kucinich.

And many of these criminals have done some of these crimes before and weren’t punished then.

What I think I hear you saying is the “we won’t prosecute you if you won’t prosecute us. There is enough spoils for all of us”.

Let’s put it simply, they broke the law, they need to be prosecuted. If that causes some kind of backlash, bring it on.
