Looks like Obama is going to investigate Bush.

Also, even if it's found true that Bush did this, it's not against the law. All he would have done in effect is say "I don't care how the leaders we work with in other countries act".

While a shitty thing to think, it's nothing new for a world leader.

According to the CNN article the guy who murdered the POWs was CIA-backed, and Bush specifically discouraged the investigation from happening.

I'm not a lawyer but it doesn't seem as simple as you're saying.

 

The "Person" was a warlord. Someone who is a leader of his area.

If I had to guess, we were working with the guy to get things done in his area, and along came this investigation. Bush had to either investigate and lose the advantage this leader brought in the region, or continue to have success towards his goals. It's not like anyone who you're investigating is really going to help you.

So Bush probably said "don't look into it. I don't want to know. What he does in his country is his thing", now, give him 10 million so he can take that camp out bla bla bla...

 

It's scummy, but not against the law.
