I think there are few, if any whose last name is not Cheney or Rove, who argue that torture is a term that can be applied to some of the interrogation techniques utilized at Guantanamo Bay. There are certain overrriding themes that the details just can't muddle. And there are certain details that demand an answer; many are accountable but who is guilty?
However, there is a lot to be done to get America back on track and the lib said con said should not be the Administrations top priority. If an American law was broken it is up to the Justice Department to open an investigation. If an international law was broken, it is up to the United Nations to open an investigation and for the United States to comply with international law.
The investigation into the Cheney administration (operating under the alias Bush)'s use of torture will be blurry. The investigative process, however, is clear.
If President Obama chooses to micromanage an investigation with a clear process and a fairly predictable ending, he will do voters a grave disservice. He has bigger messes in the economy, the education system, and the health care system to clean up.
So in this justice push for terrorist, do not forgot about those whose justice could be threatened if President Obama himself spends too much time on the issue: the America people, jobless, broke, and broken.
