George Bush is packing it up, but should he (and his) also be lawyering up?
On Sunday, Obama had this to say to This Week's George Stephanopoulos in response to a citizen question inquiring about a future criminal investigation of Prez 43's administration:
(...)
"...there should be prosecutions if “somebody has blatantly broken the law” but that his legal team was still evaluating interrogation and detention issues and would examine “past practices.”Mr. Obama added that he also had “a belief that we need to look forward as opposed to looking backwards.”
“And part of my job,” he continued, “is to make sure that, for example, at the C.I.A., you’ve got extraordinarily talented people who are working very hard to keep Americans safe. I don’t want them to suddenly feel like they’ve got spend their all their time looking over their shoulders.”
No comment from the White House at this writing.
Reportedly, George is very busy taping boxes closed for Laura.
