- George W. Bush is the greatest president since Ronald Regan. He saved the USA and no matter what any of you left wing nut jobs think, when your family members are killed in the next terror attack, there will be another one under Omama, you all will be crying your eyes out and wondering when someone will do something. Obama won''''t lift a finger to do anything. He and Jimmy Carter, two of the worst ever will run the USA into the ground and the greatest depression will come to your doorsteps and all of you will wish for change, change that you voted for and got.

You fascist are getting a wee bit carried away with a statement that Criminal Charges MAY NOT be coming for the most criminal Leader this nation has ever had. Don''t hold your breath on that one sparky, many a con has fallen for that ploy... LOL My bet? The Liar in Chief will STILL attempt, even though the Obama Team has indicated there will be no charges forthcoming, some sort of blanket pardon. You people are very bright are you?? - Reply to this comment
- Since bush is still president the change has yet to happen and won''t until President Obama takes the oath of office.
This is just the press guessing what Obama''s moves will be, he probably doesn''t want bush to give an overall pardon covering himself and all his cronies.
Do not underestimate Obama, if he chooses to go after these thugs or not it will be the right thing for this Country, he will weigh the pros and cons of it before he makes a decision. The smart thing to do. - Reply to this comment

- what happened to change? I can already see Washington taking care of its own....and continuing the biggest lie government on earth.I thought Obama was going to give us change?...looks like change of party but no change in Washington ...again.If Obama really means change it must mean making amends from the damage done by our government or else it means nothing but words.Torture by bush and company was wrong and charges should be made if not the new change in Washington is nil.

- Now, when was the last time we heard "We were just following orders"? During the Nuremberg tribunals, perhaps? Unfortunately, this issue will have to be resolved in the international courts. And just like with the Nazis, it may take decades to find and try all parties involved. Presidential preemptive strikes may delay the process and preclude justice at a national level, but the truth will out. Justice may be delayed, but it will come.

- MY OPINION:- WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND. BUSH ADMINISTRATION INVADED, KILLED, MAIMED, DISORIENT A LEGALLY ELECTED IRAQI GOVERNMENT BY THE PRETEX THAT SADDAM HUSSEIN HABOURS AND SPONSORS THE 911 TERRORISTS; AND ALSO HE HAD SEVERAL WMD, AND SO HE WAS IMPRISONED AND FINNALLY HUNGED. BUT WE ALL KNOW IT WAS NONE OF THE ABOVE BUT RATHER THE OIL AND ISRAEL INTERESTS. NOW IT''S PAY BACK TIME. I THINK BHO SHOULD INVESTIGATE ALL OF THE ABOVE, INCLUDING WHO PLANNED AND EXECUTED 911. THE ''MORAN'' GEORGE WAKLER BUSH NEVER IMAGINED THAT ONE DAY HE WILL LEAVE THE WHITE HOUSE. THE TRUTH ONE DAY WILL COME OUT SOONER OR LATER. JUSTICE MUST BE FROM WITHIN IF THE PRESIDENT-ELECT WANTS THE WORLD TO BELIEVE IN HIM AS FROM HIS CAMPAIGN SLOGANS "CHANGE WE CAN BELEIVE IN" AND "YES WE CAN". MY APPEAL TO MR PRESIDENT-ELECT, ON BEHALF OF THE MUSLIM WORLD, PLEASE COULD YOU UNRAVELLED THE TRUTH ABOUT 911. THOSE WRONGFULLY IMPRISONED AT GITMO NEED TO KNOW THE TRUTH AND THEIR PARENTS AND KIDS TO SEE THEM BACK TO THEIR HOMES ALIVE TO START AFRESH AND LIVE A HAPPY LIFE THEREAFTER. THANKS YOU, MR PRESIDENT, FROM THE BOTTOM OF MINE AND THE MUSLIM WOLRD HEARTS.

- Unpleasant interrogation methods don''t equate to torture. Using phsychological methods and scaring the enemy goes back to the dawn of time and has never been treated as illegal.

- Most people who love America and understand what they have done would love to see Bush, Cheney, Rove, Rumsfield, Wolfowitz, Pearle, Crystal and their ilk in front of a firing squad. To persue and prosecute them, though, would surely stir up the intellectually challenged lemmings who still mindlessly follow them. It is a sad thing, but our nation has been so damaged by these criminals that we could not withstand the turmoil that would be created by bringing them to justice.

- "Why have a probe if there will be no repercussion?"
It`s simple Harbinger, if there is a probe, then facts will be established. The Hague will takeover with international charges of war crimes and human rights violation.
By the time the Bush Depression is in full swing (bread lines, soup kitchens, and Potter`s fields filling to capacity) Bush won`t have a single supporter and he`ll be frog-marched to the Netherlands.
Obama will be too busy trying to save the lives of 50% of America to mess with Bush. - Reply to this comment
- Why have a probe if there will be no repercussion? A country is only as noble as admitting their mistakes and punishing their evil doers. When the message is --"we know evil was done, but it is in the past" future despots and monsters know they can do similar acts with impunity.
Politically, punishing Bush and co may be a bad thing--but morally and for the sake of the world it would be healing and cathartic indeed.
Who knows--it might even make the next terrorist attack by those who are tired of America''s double standards and actions unncessary. The fact is--if we fail to police our own, those who were the victims of our country will have vendettas to be met. - Reply to this comment

- If you aren''t going to seek charges against those who planned and engaged in torture, I just have to ask what would be considered serious enough or immoral enough to require criminal charges?

- Change you can Believe in?. If you want CHANGE then stop looking for government to give it to you when you have had the power all this time. These people are Punks liars & thieves.
They have been since the beginning they are an illusion for the masses to keep you in order to keep you Dumb Downed to the truth.
Your money is counterfeit printed on a machine with no value backing it and your broke. America is the con on the street who conned the world in to debt through a bank called the Federal Reserve a Israeli
think tank of economist with dreams of destruction
through a Fractured Banking system unbeknown to the people.
