41. Exactly. Also, where is that Senate report on torture now? The Senate GOP suppressed it years ago.

It ought to be released now that the Democrats control the Senate. It was about 5,000 pages long, wasn't it? Maybe only 2,000 pages...I don't recall exactly.

But, yeah, a trial for W, Cheney, Rice, Addington, John Yoo et al would be appropriate.

I suppose we're just too "busy" at the moment. After all, maybe we still have to "look forward", not backward.
