Of Justice and Time-Travel
I want President Obama to hold trials of the Bush people over torture. I really do. I want him to pursue “justice” for those lawyers who advised what is now considered torture as defined by the New Left in America.
Number One, it will be another spectacle fashioned from a broken promise given by Barry himself. After promising profusely to look forward and not back, this could only be seen as a departure from that line of action.
Number Two, when its revealed that nearly every member of Congress currently grousing over this memo-deal was complicit in allowing and abetting these practices, I will enjoy the show as the focus of these witchtrials lurches upon them. Miss Pelosi, what do you mean you said “okay” to this hundreds of times?
Number Three, its another way to stir up the increasingly focused resistance. The other day the resurrection occurred with the Tea Parties, and now a fresh batch of outrage can only harden the resolve of the newly minted conservative coalition.
Number Four, it will dually distract Obama from his agenda of mass social destruction. The Fearministration will be paralyzed by answering constant questions on the investigations, and Congress’ valuable 8 hours/week of total work time will be taken by reverse McCarthyism, as the defenders of freedom answer to the revisionist fools.
Number Five, it will write out an easy talking point for our next Presidential Race. “Excuse me, Mr. President, while you were trying to throw heroes in jail, I was working on this tax policy…” The possibilities are endless here, and fruitful.
So get in there, Barry! Your destiny awaits, and Eric Holder is ready to rock. Whatever he lacks in defending our own citizens from pirates, he’s got putting past grudges on the main stage in spades! Let’s see some Lefty justice.

“I want him to pursue “justice” for those lawyers who advised what is now considered torture as defined by the New Left in America.”
The Bush Administration had to make up a new entity (“unlawful combatant”) to be able to make the case they weren’t breaking the Geneva Convention. It’s got nothing to do with a new definition by the “New Left,” but rather stretching the old definition so far as to be unrecognizable.
“Number Three, its another way to stir up the increasingly focused resistance.”
Obama’s approval rating remains at 65%. This “resistance” sounds increasingly like smoke and mirrors, IMHO, and according to the numbers what “focused” group does exist is definitely not reflective of the will of the people.
“Number Five, it will write out an easy talking point for our next Presidential Race.”
The other side seems to be happy with the same talking points they’ve used for years
.
I would love nothing more than to see prosecutions, but realistically I don’t think it will happen. In fact, that Obama does not appear to want to pursue such efforts is one thing I dislike about him. Win some, lose some, I suppose. Nevertheless, one reason that he won’t pursue such things is due to its relative unpopularity with the people, Democrats or Republicans. Thus, as you suggest, it’s no good for P/R and will be shelved, leaving Obama with huge chances in 2012. After all, one thing Obama does not have is trouble with political campaigns.
