IT HASN'T CHANGED FROM THE WW2 ERA; IT'S STILL 'LET GEORGE DO IT'.

Why is everyone waiting for Obama to get action on bringing Bush to legal task for waterboarding?  Obama is the last person who should waste time on that.  However, cannot the Legislature take it on seriously?  Is it not possible for the citizenry to take it up on class action?  Why can't there be a group of lawyers to take it on from a legal sense.  It might make lawyers less hated by the masses.  Some political action group like Move On should do it, possibly.

Have I missed some point of the law?  Can only a new President suggest that an old President  who admits breaking the law, on TV, to the whole nation, should  not have that admission followed up in the courts?  Watch the Lauer interview five years after 9/11.  Watch this.   Bush insisted to Stephanopoulos that we have never planned 'to stay the course'.  In his own words on film, check him being caught in his own lie.  What example and precedent is being set to avoid prosecution.  After all, if convicted, his \sentence could be commuted or he can be pardoned as previous presidents have done.

Since Bush was so blatant about basing his torture policy on the word of one lawyer, he made it sound like he knew ignored..The job should not be left to the historians to make it all clear for posterity.  People alive now should benefit from the example that no one should be above the law.  We elect Presidents, not Dictators or Gods.
