If you liberals really go for this, all you’re doing is building the bonfire which will result in Civil War II:
The chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee said the government should look into creating a “truth commission” to investigate the Bush administration’s Department of Justice.
Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., said that such a commission, which would answer to both Congress and the executive branch, could probe Bush administration policies on torture, interrogation and surveillance and “get to the bottom of what happened” during the eight years the Bush administration grappled with the legal war on terror.
Leahy called his proposal a “middle ground” between those critics of the Bush administration seeking to prosecute officials, and others wishing to concentrate on the future as opposed to investigating the past. “We need to be able to read the page before we turn it,” said Leahy.
Which assertions by Leahy – one of the more nasty, leftwing partisans in the Senate – are utter nonsense. This would be a political witch-hunt controlled by the kook left and designed to make conservatism illegal. The worst sort of screwball, leftist, anti-American lies would be presented as rational arguments and Bush Administration officials – possibly including President Bush, himself – would be presented as evil men who need to “confess” in order to gain absolution. Nothing doing, lefties.
You do this, and there will be a fight.
