Nancy Pelosi leaves open the option of prosecuting members of Bush administration. Those are the Democratic balls I have been looking for!

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is receptive to the idea of prosecuting some Bush administration officials, while letting others who are accused of misdeeds leave office without prosecution, she told Chris Wallace in an interview on "FOX News Sunday."

"I think you look at each item and see what is a violation of the law and do we even have a right to ignore it," the California Democrat said. "And other things that are maybe time that is spent better looking to the future rather than to the past."

Well I am very interested to find out which officials are considered lawbreakers and which ones are not.

Here is my list so far:

George Bush: Lawbreaker!

Dick Cheney: Lawbreaker!

Don Rumsfeld: Lawbreaker!

Karl Rove: Lawbreaker!

Alberto Gonzales: Lawbreaker!

Condi Rice: Lawbreaker!

If we can just throw these six in jail, I will be satisfied to let the others walk away.

But don't get me wrong, I think there are many, many more criminals in this administration. And I would love to see them ALL go to jail.

Rep. John Conyers, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, announced Friday he wants to set up a commission to look into whether the Bush administration broke the law by taking the nation to war against Iraq and instituting aggressive anti-terror initiatives. The Michigan Democrat called for an "independent criminal probe into whether any laws were broken in connection with these activities."

She hinted that the law might compel Democrats to press forth on some prosecutions, even if they are politically unpopular, adding: "That's not up to us to say that doesn't matter anymore."

"We cannot let the politicizing of, for example, the Justice Department to go unreviewed," she added. "I want to see the truth come forth."

I think I am going to really enjoy 2009!

    So, if they're willing to establish that precedent, WTF is wrong w/our spineless Alaskan legislators (apart from a very very few)?

  2. Have you signed the petition to send to Eric Holder??

    www.democrats.com to sign it to hold them accountable. Not enough people are signing it. Can't even get to 100,000 people..if they can't get enough to sign they aren't going to want to prosecute anyone.

  4. Annette, thanks for the link to that site. Headed there now. I think if we the people continue to press for this, it will happen. No significant change in government really does happen until the people press hard for it.

  5. Investigate, try and jail the Albanian Heroine Gang of Bob Dole, Joe Dioguardi and Dwayne Andreas for letting Al Qaeda in the door.
