16. I see your point. However, I think there are a lot of things to consider.
First, I feel that this was a legitimate campaign issue. Serious crimes have been committed against our Constitution and against the American people, and that deserves an investigation and full accounting. The American people -- and the American press -- have a right to ask presidential candidates about their intentions on this issue.

As far as the Bush administration getting rid of the evidence, there has already been tons of evidence collected, and numerous books written on the subject. It seems to me that there is more than enough evidence in the public domain to convict Bush and Cheney of war crimes. And I doubt that the expressed intentions of presidential candidates to questions about how they would handle this would have much effect on how Bush and Cheney conducted themselves. I believe that they would destroy any evidence against them that they thought they could get away with, regardless of what was said by presidential candidates. But their ability to do that is severely limited, given how much evidence has already been collected.
