Each day more new and compelling evidence emerges that SCREAMS of opening a criminal investigation into illegal activties carried out during the Bush Administration.

I started to write about derivatives tonight, but these thought struck me, and frankly, they are far more important than our economy.

President Obama, you know deep down the evidence calls for an investigation. We are talking about letting this matter be dealt with by our justice department. You sir, are playing politics. If the Bush administration truly did nothing wrong, then they wilol be vindicated when they get their day in court. I suppose you are waiting to see the smoking gun?

Then again, we have had many dark periods in our history. Let’s take a quick high level inventory here. American Indians. Slavery. Civil War. Need I say more?

I am not defending the sick and twisted individuals that hijacked planes and wiped out so many innocent people. None of us our naive enough not to realize that there are many others out there that given the opportunity would repeat 9/11 again given the opportunity. It is very likely in the next ten years that we will see a major metropolitan area somewhere in the world wiped out by a nuclear device detonated by terrorists or a rogue nation. This stuff is scary for all of us.

But, illegal is illegal. Torture is torture. Three planes hit three buildings and caused us to carry out and do things to people as horrific and frightening as they did to us. The fact is, when we were in that moment even the most liberal among us wanted our “pound of flesh.” We were all guilty, even if our sin was looking the other way.

Something on a 9/11 or greater scales happens again and there is no telling what we might become.
