"Along with the criminal probe, the report called for a Sept. 11-style commission with subpoena power, to gather facts and make recommendations on preventing misuse of power, according to the report by the Democratic staff of the House Judiciary Committee.

The report covers Bush administration policies that Democrats have protested for some time. Among them: interrogation of foreign detainees, warrantless wiretaps, retribution against critics, manipulation of intelligence and political dismissals of U.S. attorneys."

The incoming Obama administration should launch a criminal investigation of Bush administration officials to see whether they broke the law in the name of national security

But they won't because they want the same powers, and more.

The same Democrates who refuse to support Impechment?

The title of this thread sounds kinda dirty.

How true. They didn't let Kucinich's Articles of Impeachment get out of committee.

Yeah, I think hell will freeze over before the Democrats do anything. They are hungry to use the power apparatus Bush has put in place, along with their majority in Congress. Even if the Congress did something, I'd look for Obama to quietly pardon the wrongdoers while no one is looking.

Most importantly, how do they pull this off without incriminating themselves? By only going after certain crimes they had lesser involvement in? :rolleyes:

[lynnf]

may just be a setup to force Bush to grant a pardon to himself and Cheney, etc.

It'll never be allowed with Pelosi as Speaker.

This is a dog and pony show to tarnish the Republican brand. Most people have the asinine belief that Republicans are "free market", which couldn't be further from the truth. The more corrupt the supposed free marketers look, the better the alternative appears. Obama to the rescue. They will not open the cellar door, which underneath smells like a decaying corpse.

Now, if the house dems were all like Kucinich, than these guys would all be in jail.
