Truest statement of the week

Not too long after his inauguration, Obama basically said that accountability for the crimes (national and international) of the Bush regime would be "off the table," because we need to "look forward." That’s easy to say if A) one hasn’t experienced such unpunished loss, and B) one is planning on continuing the crimes. Indeed, the Obama DOJ has vigorously blocked accountability for anyone in the Bush regime; maybe most notably, John Yoo and Federal Judge, Jay Bybee, who collaborated to formulate the disastrous US torture policy.
