Will Obama Pursue War Crimes Investigations?

| | Comments (2)

I doubt it...at least not right away. As is pointed out in the Rachel Maddow video below, Obama has an incredible amount on his plate right now. On the other hand, its essential to the fabric of the country that the Bush administration be eventually called to task for their war crimes in order to prevent their actions from becoming a matter of legal precedent.

I think the idea of giving Obama any slack or breathing room is bad political tactics. He's getting plenty of pressure from the rightists to do the wrong things. We need to make sure there is pressure to do what any responsible president would do. (Admittedly, we haven't had a responsible president since 1980.)

I agree with that. The economic crash hype will likely overshadow those highly charged political points for the moment though. People are mostly short term thinkers unfortunately. So it goes. I know I plan to keep an eye on it.
