The net roots are pushing and it is being felt. President Obama is being pushed in the direction he knows he needs to go. He wants we the people to make him go in that direction. Some bloggers are saying they think of him as being very cagey to create the impression that he is forced to investigate the torturers. President Obama has not made any mistakes and he is making headway.
I think under the circumstances of what was most crucial to taking the reigns of governance the fact that he has made these statements of intent on torture in his first one hundred days in office speaks to the importance he places on the rule of law. The presidents overtures to bipartisanship indicates this is not a witch hunt and that he personally is not playing politics with this issue. The ball is in Holders court let him deal with it in a PROPER fashion and a timely one
Keep the pressure on Eric holder for a special prosecutor, no more commissions 9/11 was a commission and there was no truth and no prosecutions. A special prosecutor and keep the house and senate inquiries to a minimum this should not be a political issue it is a legal issue Now more than ever in the past the truth must be told. This subject on the authorization of torture is not an in house America first issue, this an international criminal court issue. The world is watching this must be done right.
