I wonder…

will the people who spent years in a perpetual state of bafflement wondering “What O what *is* torture? I’m soooooo confused!”, who kept demanding (and rejecting) “definitions” of torture (while never lifting a finger to supply one of their own will actually read the International Red Cross Report on the war crimes committed by the Bush Administration and then covered up by same.

I would have no problem at all with trying and jailing the culprits. Won’t happen though. And if I don’t miss my guess, one of the first of Obama’s major disappointments to his constituents will be that he will prefer to leave well enough alone, especially since he appears to want to keep a foot in the door of the torture cell, just in case he might need that “tool” himself sometime. We’ll see. But I think our gov’t is probably too broadly implicted and incestuous to actually clean up this mess. Most of the high level perps will die in their beds.
