Could George W. Bush end up behind bars?

(CNN) -- Could George W. Bush or some of his top aides end up behind bars?

It's extremely unlikely, but the Obama administration is taking its first steps along a path that could lead in that direction, with the investigation of Central Intelligence Agency interrogators involved in the war on terror.

"You don't know where these things are going to end up," former CIA agent Peter Brookes told me. "They could go to very high levels in the government."

The probe will focus on whether interrogators exceeded their instructions and broke the law when, for example, they choked a prisoner until he lost consciousness or threatened another one with a gun and a power drill.

I think what's worse is what's going on in his former Governor/brother's state of FL!!!

I want to hear from all the FReepers who have been sliming CA for the past decade after they read this about FL!!! (Not that two wrongs make a right, or anything)

You're assuming there will be elections in 2010: I'm not so sure of that anymore. Notice how shabbily the Democratic and RINO representatives and senators treated their own constituents during those town hall meetings? It's almost as if they know something that we don't and feel like what we say & want doesn't matter any more. Think about it. If they know that this crew will declare martial law before November of next year, what do they care what you & I feel about them? They'll be ensconced for life, just like president-for-life Obama.

What a great statement and painfully true! The pen (or keyboard) CAN be mightier than the sword.

Anything to distract people from the obummer disasters - even persecuting valid leaders for actually protecting us ... an entirely foreign concept for tards I realize.

No, the racist black voters, ACORN thugs, and guilt-ridden white voters are responsible for the 2008 election. Oh and McCain’s unwillingness to fight back.

They won’t even get across the Red River. Heck, they might not even make it through Oklahoma alive.

I’m getting the impression that the left ACTUALLY WANTS A CIVIL WAR.

Exactly. Non one’s falling for Zero’s fraudulent games. Except Chris Matthews, et al. Peeing themselves with joy.

I think the Zero administration is just throwing a bone to their foam-at-the-mouth moonbats at Kos, etc. to regain favor with the communist riffraff. They can’t possibly be serious.

If they were to be stupid enough to actually try to go forward with this BS the RATS will run into a sh!tstorm that will make the anger at townhall meetings look like a girl scout bake sale.

Exactly right. The only reason this happening is that Obama needs to throw a bone to left wing wackos to make up for the fact that he is screwing them with no public option and that he is no different than Bush on either Iraq or Afghanistan.

Ok, this is Dimwit reasoning. Bozo claims that Holder can act without Bozo's approval and that Bozo can't stop him from doing what he wants(pertaining to the CIA investigation)and I would presume this would hold for all appointees under him but, OTH, Bush is totally responsible for everything anyone working for him did during his Presidency and he can be convicted for it.

Nope, no double standard there!/SAR

Methinks 0bama and his admin should criminalize policy. That way, when he is out of office in 2012, we can have some fun.

I see he’s tossing a bone to the left-wing base after he renigged on the public healthcare option.

I doubt America’s Army would fire on the American people.

0zer0's army would, without a moment's hesitation.
