DoJ veteran sees ‘dangerous precedent’ in letting Bush officials walk
Been thinking the same thing....the elephants are still in the room:
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/01/justice-dept-veteran-obama-sets-dangerous-precedent-letting-bush-officials-free/

In a rare blistering attack on the Department of Justice,
a career veteran of the agency recently told Raw Story that
the Obama administration handing Bush-era officials "a get out of jail free card”
sets “a dangerous precedent" that could encourage other offenses by future leaders.

J. Gerald Hebert, a former acting Justice Department chief who served
the government's enforcement wing in various capacities between
1973 and 1994, said in an exclusive interview that the failure of federal
prosecutors to charge former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX)
with even a single crime was indicative of a greater problem.

3. This has already done damage to our rights
and system of justice. How much more do we take before the people rise up and demand justice? I have contacted my Senators, Congressional Representatives and the White House so many time it's ridicules.
