There are many who have assiduously sought a thorough investigation of the Bush Administration in relation to the Iraq War, the policy of torture, deceiving Congress, etc. etc.
Obama seems to be have loath to even go there! It looked like Bush & Co. would "get away with it" But..... it now appears that at least an investigation will get underway - perhaps even leading to prosecution of Bush officials.
The Observer / The Guardian reports in "Bush's key men face grilling on torture and death squads":
"America is bracing itself for a series of investigations that could see top officials from the administration of President George W Bush hauled in front of Congress, grilled by a special prosecutor and possibly facing criminal charges.
Several investigations will now cast a spotlight on Bush-era torture policy and a secret CIA assassination programme, examining the role played by big names such as the former vice-president Dick Cheney and the former defence secretary Donald Rumsfeld.
In one investigation into the controversial firing of federal prosecutors, Bush's political guru, Karl Rove, has already been forced to appear before Congress and give testimony behind closed doors. Another investigation, by the House of Representatives' intelligence committee, has already asked for documents from the CIA and has now announced that it will examine the legality of keeping a secret CIA hit squad hidden from Congress, something alleged to have been ordered by Cheney himself."
