Poll question: Concerning Bush & Cheney: Do You Prefer Trials Or Truth/Reconciliation Hearings? |
|
IMO, it's best to get as much information out as possible. Trials give actors too much incentive to hide info.

2. It should be a Mark Twain story. He goes on for paragraphs about how a guy was brutalized |
|
by this and that only to have the coroner proclaim that he died of natural causes.
So let it be "natural causes."
(The book was "Roughing It.")

T&R hearings for the administration as a hole (yes, I said that deliberately), from which we will glean the necessary information for trials for Buch & Cheney - maybe throw in Rumsfeld, for good measure.
At the end of WW2 we didn't hang ALL the Nazis - just the top tier. I think that's a good model.

6. A trial. There is nothing that Bush and his cronies did that is worthy of reconciliation. |

10. T&Rs are probably healthier, but sadly less likely |
|
The only times I've seen those work out is for situations like Rwanda or South Africa or parts of Congo-Kinshasa. (Correct me if I'm wrong, BTW, but didn't the concept originate out of that region?)
I almost think the things should be regularly scheduled, though that would also remove a whole lot of the significance.
