Regarding the friendly disagreement between the Bard and myself, Bush and Cheney already enjoy undeserved folk hero status, and within the far right realms, they will always enjoy such status regardless of outcome.
I appreciate the debate.
For me it's coming down to what we are preserving- or attempting to preserve- I think the bad far outweighs the good here- and I believe that if Obama sidesteps this it will be his downfall.
President Obama will forever be linked to the Bush Torture Coverup and our great victory over the establishment will be torn down.

Covering up and not prosecuting the torture scandal?
Going back on one of the most ringing campaign promises regarding transparency? And I get weekly requests to donate more money from the Obama campaign? Maybe I was just a dumb wide-eyed child.

Judge for yourself.

I mean- one day these guys and gals are trying to convince America that Barack Obama is an extremist Muslim, and the next day the same people are trying to pressure Barack to cancel his membership at his Christian Church!
Anybody remember the movie 'Sybil'?
