They are going to put it out there that torture is a crime IF (and only if) it was done to get that evidence (but not if it was to extract information about an imminent threat). This moves the debate off of whether torture is acceptable and move it into WHEN it is acceptable and when it isn't. That's what Bush, Cheney and Obama want.</p>

<p>THEN, of course, investigators will be unable to prove the link between torture and getting evidence of Iraq and Al Qaeda working together. And so, voila! No crimes were committed.</p>]]>

<p>I don't expect the guy who put the foxes in charge of the Wall Street henhouse and gave banksters trillions to make them whole while Main Street people get kicked out of their houses to do anything much about health care.</p>

<p>Rick Warren?

<p>On the economy, on corruption, on secrecy, Constitutional rights, on accountability for torture, Obama is worse than George Bush. A bit of red meat on social and environmental issues is trivial in comparison. I hate Ralf Nader for throwing the 2000 election to George Bush, but I'd sooner write his name in in 2012 than waste my vote on a Blue Dog Democrat like Obama.</p>]]>
