Hang a few coyotes on some fences
Joe Galloway thinks that the Obama team has made it's first major mistake when they announced "that they have no intention of investigating anyone in the Bush administration for possible war crimes." He puts forth his reasons and I am in total agreement with them.
This nation was founded on the principle of equal justice under the law. No one — no one — ought to be able to skate or hold a get-out-of-jail-free card by virtue of having been the most powerful felon in the land, or of working for him...Like Lyndon Baines Johnson said, “I never trust a man unless I've got his pecker in my pocket.” I would feel comforted if I knew Obama had that many peckers in his pocket.
...Unless the newly empowered Democrats in the White House and on Capitol Hill hang a few coyotes on some fences in Washington, D.C., they're making a huge mistake that will come back to haunt them, and all the rest of us, too.
Unless the truth, the whole truth, is unearthed, justice is done and the Republican closet is emptied of festering transgressions, the next pack will do it again, secure in the knowledge that their positions will protect them from the penalties that more ordinary citizens must pay for the same crimes.
The people of this nation have spoken loudly. They voted to throw the rascals out. They voted for a different way of governing, a different way of law making. They voted for equal rights under the law.
If their desires aren't satisfied — if the new broom sweeps no cleaner than the old one — the next time around they may move things up a notch and throw all the bastards out — and they'd be fully justified in doing so.
