15. Oh, I understand now.
I am sure your desire for justice is heart felt and sincere; however, Eliot Spitzer can not investigate the president for not preventing an attack any more than FDR could have been prosecuted for not preventing Pearl Harbour. Elected officials are not liable for preventing every possible occurence which could harm people. Elected officials are held liable by the people - that's what elections are for. Don't hold it against Eliot for not going after the president - he's had 10 out of 10 successful prosecutions so far and is doing a lot of good.
