An “independent” panel might just dig up dirt on democrats.

Exactly! Maybe they can drag Jamie Gorelick back to 'investigate' the 'harsh' interrogations!

Leahy and Conyers are going to have their show trials. I feel pretty confident in that. Hopefully the Bush administration officials that are to be prosecuted will bus in a few thousand folks from L.A. that migth not otherwise be here today if they followed the appeasement tactics of the left.

This is the usual approach - float something, deny it - and then do it. Usually they take a slightly different tack when they actually do it, but the result is the same.

There will be no show trials. We won’t allow it.

Say what you want about the dreadful, despicable Clintons, but at least they seemed to know what they were doing; these people are clueless.

Finally, the truth. The panel will be biased democrat, not independent.

Oh, I suspect these clowns know exactly what they’re doing, but not in the same manner as the Clintons.

Bingo. I think that's exactly what this is. They don't want anyone to watch the Congressional sausage-making over "health care reform."

We start with Robert McNamara and work our way up taking in Kennedy and Leahy regarding how they voted on funds for South Vietnam and Cambodia (withdrawal of funding led to genocide in both cases, and genocide is a crime against humanity, and we can execute people for it, so it would be really juicy to have those two on trial).
