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 wish the producers of Burn Notice would do an episode with one of Obama’s henchmen/czars threatening to blow up the world or something. Life and art and all of that..

Wish I knew how to post a cool pic of Lone Wolf McQuade..

Knowing the mods here it would get yanked.

Could he end up in jail? Well, in the old USA, a solid NO. But in our new Worker’s Paradise, just consider what happens in other Worker’s Paradises. Yup, show trial. public confession, W and a few thousand others sent to jail for long terms.

It’s social justice, you understand.

I think if they tried that sincerely, it would give them the Arch Duke Ferdinand moment they so anxiously want to provoke. Not that anyone would be assassinated, but it might very well serve as THE pivotal action that sets a flame to the massive pile of kindling that has been growing.

“We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”

He not only can, he will. Again, ythis is one of the things that the fools who inflicted obama on us brought about when they elected the democrats. Wheather he will be tried here or in the world court, I can’t say but if he lives long enough he will be tried along with Vice President Chenney.

2010 elections? Forget them. ACORN has several billion dollars to ensure that the Democrats win. In addition to that,the Democrats, who never were bashful about committing voter fraud and voter intimidation when President Bush was President now control the White House, both Houses of Congress, and the Department of Justice along with the “news” organizations. Anyone that believes that the 2010 elections will be fair or at least neutral is either: 1. Delusional 2. day dreaming. 3.living in another world 4. in denial.

I hope the rest of the independents and the remaining patriotic democrats run from Obama like rats from a sinking ship as a result of this

I could see the Texas National Guard putting a protective shield around him. Then, when the Feds act, the shooting starts in earnest.

Military will NEVER go along with the crap. You will see states in Middle America counter anything the socialist throws out.

As long as you have Inhofe, Coburn, Demint, Sessions, Shelby and a host of Congressional people, Obama doesn’t even need to try.

All you have to do is see the outrage his propaganda to speak to students has caused from all spectrums of the voting public. Those handouts by the Ed Department along with the commercial from Hollywood has caused a firestorm that will not be put back in the bottle. People are mad and the Democrat controlled WH and Congress are right in the bullseyes.

The dems are desperate to deflect heat from (a) Obozo’s failing health debacle and (b) Obozo’s communist-racist-anti-American environmentalwacko-czar pal.

They are really freaking desparate. I would not have given CNN the satisfaction of even posting this garbage. They are distracting for 0bama and you made it breaking news.

Who is going to stop this and how?

We’ve really entered the Twilight Zone.

"They are really freaking desparate. I would not have given CNN the satisfaction of even posting this garbage. They are distracting for 0bama and you made it breaking news."

I did post the original story because I thought the headline was so outrageous, especially in juxtaposition to the fact that CNN - to date - has yet to post any stories on the Van Johnson controversy.

But, in point of fact, I did not post it in breaking news. I'm not sure how it ended up there, if it was a moderator or another member, but it wasn't me.

It used to be we had a “War on Terror”.

Now it’s looking like it’s a W.O.S. (”War on Socialism”)

"Jones"

Right. Jones. I have no idea who Van Johnson is, or where that name came from.

This is ridiculous.
Only liberals would even think such a thing, but what goes around comes around.

Obama may want to think about the trend he is setting long and hard.

Especially as he can easily be seen as trying to subvert the constitution from a republic to a socialist state.

You're assuming there will be elections in 2010: I'm not so sure of that anymore

Too late, they should have thought of that before they started in on healthcare.

We're hardly organized, but we sure as hell are angry and spoiling for a fight.

Just try and NOT have elections. I dare them, cuz hells coming and they're in it's sights.
