I don't disagree with you, still needs to be done. We have a leader in Obama who isn't afraid to take the high road in so may instances. Sort of ff subject, but getting food security for the third world supported by the countries at the G20 is huge. Nearly 3 billion people, almost half the worlds population goes hungry. It is the clearest statement in recent memory that all the world's people are human beings of equal in value. Hopefully this will also change our views regarding the plundering of the third world.
We can't sweep this under the rug or ignore the consequences. These are serious crimes, war crimes and the world is watching, If we do not we will be a rogue nation and with our economy in trouble etc. could become a failed nation, a failed state in the eyes of the world. I know we never think of this happening to a country other than in the third world but we are currently at moderate risk for failing and this is before everything that has happened in the last 24 months and everything that has come out. We MUST investigate, prosecute and punish, not just Cheney but everyone in positions of authority who were parties to the torture and lying us into war or we all, each and every one of us are complicit in these crimes.
