Obama, "Nobody is above the law." (Investigating Bush Admin)

[LiberalFighter]

Regarding Leahy's proposal.

[EraOfResponsibility]

1. He said whoever's found guilty should be prosecuted

and then he said "but...moving forward, etc"

[dflprincess]

6. But you can't find someone guilty unless they're prosecuted.

All you need to prosecute is probable cause and evidence that will hold up in court.

[H2O Man]

8. No.

He did not say that.

[Towlie]

2. Yeah, but on the other hand....

"I'm more interested in looking forward..."

:puke:

[Desimal]

3. That'll show those who torture people in the future nt

[RollWithIt]

4. You do realize the Obama Admin will never prosecute anyone, thats the AG office....

He can take the high road and let his underlings do his bidding.

[Windy]

5. thank you. That is the truth of the matter! If the AG department wanted to go forward

and have the evidence, he would not stop them.

[Towlie]

7. True, kings never attack kings in a chess game.

[Jennicut]

9. He has to be smart about it. I think the Rethugs are a dangerous bunch.

He needs to let the AG do the work.

[Stephanie]

10. I thought it was a very blunt and courageous statement

My jaw dropped open when he said that.
