Don't indict any of them.

Until after January 20.
Bush will set them free if he can.

then thats the time to nail the assholes.

then resign so Cheney could pardon him.

They don't need to be accused to be pardoned. Bush will simply issue a pardon for everything that happened - it actually might be technically possible to try them for their crimes once he does pardon them, but there could not be a penalty.

See my post below. We were posting at the same time. I agree. He could easily pardon them before they're accused.

I'm just afraid he'll give them all peremptory pardons in anticipation of indictments.

The Hague won't give a monkey's whether Bush** pardons himself and everyone else if they decide to go after them.

I was thinking more about American courts.

for anybody who actually believes that Bush will be going to the Hague. It may be peoples' wet dream, but I don't see that ever happening. Ever. Reality is a harsh mistress.

Fill in the blank, get out of jail free cards?

That's what Poppy Bush did, as did Fors in pardoning Nixon.

but not yet tried/convicted.
I think Ford pardoning Nixon is the only case of a pre-indictment pardon.
I'll double check this.

The other reason being a guaranteed Democratic majority in 2008.

that the Democrat that takes office, Obama or whomever, will choose not to investigate any further in the name of "bi-partisanship". I wish it were different.

I have read where Obama has said that he will not stop any investigations of the past regime, but I agree with you that this could easily be swept aside in a post-election "Kumbaya" time...where Democrats will "reach out" in some goofy attempt to show how bipartisan they are and that all repugnicans aren't that bad (yes they are...that's why they stay repugnicans).

My bets are on John Conyers and Henry Waxman...they've been digging for years and have suffered from this regime's stonewalling. Conyers has previously talked about pursuing post-facto impeachment and the criminality of this regime won't vanish just because of an election.

I'd also caution about this regime attempting to immunize itself as its walking out the door. Executive orders and special proclamation and other devices this regime will try to use to bury their guilt and hide their complicity.

I've long said that we're stuck until this regime is out of power and that the best we can and should do now is investigate and see how much more slime seeps up...and plenty has.

Also, remember, we have no functioning Department of Justice...one of the first things a new Democratic regime must fix...and FAST!

Best of both worlds! No attack on Iran and we get our man/men/woman/women

The most important thing right now is to keep them from pardoning each other.
