13. Good column from OpEd News comparing Bush's torture to Blago's sins
and how we are going after one and not the other.

http://www.opednews.com/articles/Rod-Blagojevich-faces-impe-by-Mary-MacElveen-090114-423.html

"As I was listening to Keith Olbermann interview Jonathan Turley who is a constitutional lawyer speak of how Pres. Bush signed off on water boarding, he stated, “We now have President Bush speaking quite candidly that he was in the loop, we have Dick Cheney who almost bragged about it. The question for Barack Obama is whether he wants to own part of this by looking the other way."


As we all know torture is a war crime under the Geneva Convention. After hearing Turley state that, one of my immediate thoughts was the case of impeachment directed at the Illinois governor, Rod Blagojevich. Another thought came to mind is that it seems that only Democrats get impeached in this country as evident with the impeachment of former President Bill Clinton."
