Bush’s Blanket Pardon for War and Torture? Would anyone put it past Dubya to attempt such a thing?

[Lionhearted]

As if we don’t have enough to worry about the shenanigans Bush & Co. might try pulling in their last 60-plus days in office, now comes whispered reports from Washington that Dubya is considering issuing a “blanket pardon” for everyone involved in anything illegal in the Iraq and Afghanistan invasions and – more critically – anything remotely connected to torturing detainees during his seven year reign of terror.

1. Wasn't that the plan all along? n/t

2. Let bush believe he can save himself with a pardon. He'll get it in the end.

One way is to have an international court go after him. There are also "Truth and Reconciliation hearings."

America owes the world and humanity the prosecution of George W. Bush. If not us, then maybe God.

3. I would absolutely not put it past him.

The tragic thing is that there doesn't seem to be anything that can be done to prevent or override it.

4. Not only do I not put it past him

I fully expect the Democrats to completley support the whole idea. It will make not one bit of difference if We the People ask them to put up a fight. Dry powder. Clean table. Spineless. Cowards. Completely out of touch Congress.
