President Obama today left the door open to prosecuting lawyers from the Bush Administration who drafted memos authorising the use of harsh interrogation methods on terror suspects.
Well alright! One step closer to getting bush and his cronies behind bars!
Mr Obama said the memos showed how America had lost its "moral bearings" during the Bush years, adding that "if and when there needs to be a further accounting of what took place" Congress should consider a bipartisan inquiry without the usual point-scoring.
Yup... I agree there.
Later last night, Dick Cheney, Mr Bush's Vice President, joined the fray by declaring that he found it a "little bit disturbing" that Mr Obama had chosen to publish only information showing what was done to detainees rather than the crucial information gleaned from such interrogations.
"I know specifically of reports that I read, that I saw, that lay out what we learned through the interrogation process and what the consequences were for the country," he told Fox News.
Mr Cheney has repeatedly accused Mr Obama of endangering America and being too soft towards it enemies by promising talks with Iran or shaking hands with President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, added that he was "concerned with the way that we've been represented overseas" by the President on trips abroad.
It will be interesting to see if Dick continues to keep blowing smoke. Keep it up and he'll be behind bars soon enough. He just keeps digging the hole deeper.
