Well, Dick. Looks like you were at some secret briefing with congressional leaders back when you were the appointed VP in an attempt to build support for the torture program. Now with Feinstein’s investigation into the torture program, the question is whether Cheney will be the focus of the investigation or not.

So far the Obama administration has taken a very hands-off approach to getting to the bottom of the criminal activity conducted by Bush/Cheney and their band of criminals. Although I see a clear reason why the Obama regime shouldn’t be leading the process, I feel it is critical that the process is undertaken and by our own nation. The world is only going to give us a little while to prove that we can take care of our own mess before they start taking things into an international process. They are required to!

Let’s shine the full power of this nation’s moral light at Bush and Cheney and watch as the cockroaches whither.
