Zandar's Thought Of the Day

Let's face reality here. Despite all that happened this week on the unfinished Bush Business front, it means precisely nothing in the end.

Congress will never investigate the torture regime, no matter what Patrick Leahy says. Too many Democrats signed off on these memos: Pelosi, Reid, Jay Rockefeller, Dianne Feinstein, Silvestre Reyes, Alcee Hastings...the list goes on. They knew exactly what we were doing. They would have to implicate themselves if they dug too deep...well before the axe swung on Bush or Cheney.

There's even less of a chance of any serious investigation of wiretapping, despite DiFi's calls for it. Not since a Senator of Illinois named Barack Obama voted for the gutting of FISA and decided to expand the Bush Doctrine on spying on Americans.

Neither the Republicans nor the Democrats will complain too loudly. As far as Washington is concerned, the book is closed on Bush for good. Short of a miracle, these abuses will now be codified into US law by every President after Obama. These abuses will be expanded year after year by both parties.

And America will continue to commit war crimes in our name.
