Looks like Obama is going to investigate Bush.

When it comes to this sort of thing I'm a moral absolutist. Not otherwise! But in this case, yes.

Don't care about Obama's motivation. If Bush committed war crimes - well, Hell, that's all there is, isn't it?

Of course the issue is... and i think this is Mafoo's worry...

Nothing will be done.

"Bush committed Warcrimes, was guilty of this crime that crime yadda yadda."

Then nothing will come of it.

Making it an expensive investigation that didn't put one person in jail.

Do you mean that it would be a-okay if the investigation carried the real and terrifying possibility of putting a large portion of Bush's staff (including the man himself) in prison for a while?

Man I thought that was what these investigations were about. Putting people in jail! For crimes!

Crime gets you put in jail!

I think so.

But no... that's not what Wasington investigations are about.

There is about a 90% chance that either there will be no consequences laid to bear after the verdict if found guilty and a 90% chance the story will be buried or never come to a conclusion if found innocent.

I'd put it at 99% chance bush doesn't go to jail.

Which is the only issue i have about the investigation.

This investigation even if they find people guilty of crime WON'T put people in jail.
