that Obama has "decided" not to bother with Bush or the war crimes of his admin.

I think we need to keep in mind that Obama is being handed a crisis situation of monumental proportions... and that everything has to be prioritized, including dealing with Bush and whether or not he committed war crimes (or, well, maybe not "if" but "how much will he pay").

But - people in this country are suffering and in crisis - and I think that is the only reason why you're not seeing a more "full-throated" offense on the Bush war crimes issue...

Personally, I respect and understand the priority. Bush's violations will never go away, so the need to address it TODAY is not as immediate as other crises truly are. It needs to be addressed, just not today. Not until we deal with issues of immediate survival.

no?
