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.

George W. Bush behind bars, like George W. Bush being impeached, is a crazy-leftist fantasy. I don’t think even the Obama administration is stupid enough to try to imprison a former president for his policy decisions.

Mine too. Have gun...will travel. Can you just see a tent city of armed patriots on W’s ranch. Libtards are just so stupid. I keep envisioning some little pale panty-waisted guy in his Birkenstocks and Che t-shirt poking a sleeping Pit bull. That Pit bull is waking up and there is going to be a whole lot of wee-weeing going on.

Obama doesn’t have an administration, the administration has him. This guy is in way over his head and he is just doing what the teleprompter tells him

Yo Obambi...turn around is fair play. Don’t go down that rabbit hole lest you find yourself stuck in it.

How wonderful it is to see the support and respect President always receives even from the conservatives that disagreed with his policies.

Did I need to add the sarc' tag?!?

If it does, I can’t wait to get President Clinton and 0bama into jail for their corruption when we get a REAL conservative in the White House next time.

0bama eats poop.

The Libs don't know what to do next.

Silly fools.

I miss GW and First Lady Laura. When will we have that kind of class back on Penn Ave?

Hey! Don't look over there at the overtaking of the medical industry.

Don't look at the takeover of the banking industry!

Do not let your mind wander to the government takeover of the auto industry!

And do not pay any attention to the takeover of the industry, local and commercial, of the producers of the very foodstuffs you sustain yourselves with!

You don't have to bother yourselves with the loss of your very freedom to live, when we can entertain you with "BACK TO THE PAST - LET'S BUST BUSH" brought to you as a kindly diversion by your loving government.

That will be all.

It most likely is planned as a way to flush people out of the CIA who not Obamamaniacs so that Ob can think that he also owns the CIA. (Funny, the word Obamamaniacs got through spell check. The English language on FR is on to him.)

You know, I’d love to see them try...oh please...oh please...make my day.

Obama just opened the door to future administrations doing the same thing to him. Bad kharma.

Inner city gang members typically don’t respond well to being directed or led - they tend to go their own way. Additionally when they shoot it is spray and hope (I would say pray, but not likely) that they hit something. They tend to prefer face to face combat with their gang backing them up.

From 500 yards my .222 is deadly accurate, I don’t waste ammo. One shot, one kill. Their paltry 9’s and .40’s are useless at that range.

Bring em on!

No, the racist black voters, ACORN thugs, and guilt-ridden white voters are responsible for the 2008 election.

Along with Theodore R. and his cadre of Bush Bashers right here on FR!

No, Bush or Cheney would not end up behind bars...

BUT THE EVENDENTIARY INFORMATION THAT HOLDER OBTAINS IN HIS INVESTIGATION CAN AND MOST LIKELY WILL BE PROVIDED TO A WORLD COURT THAT COULD BRING CHARGES AGAINST THEM, AND IF CONVICTED THEY WOULD BE TARGETS FOR INTERNATIONAL BOUNTY HUNTERS. THEY COULD NEVER LEAVE THE USA FOR FEAR OF SOME COUNTRY ARRESTING THEM AS SOON AS THEY LAND THERE.
