    Leahy: "You get the brushes, I've got the whitewash"

    Sure . . . this'll do it . . .


    Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman, Sen. Patrick Leahy called for a truth commission to investigate the previous eight years of the George W. Bush administration.

    "One path to that goal would be a reconciliation process and truth commission. We could develop and authorize a person or group of people universally recognized as fair minded, and without axes to grind. Their straightforward mission would be to find the truth. People would be invited to come forward and share their knowledge and experiences, not for purposes of constructing criminal indictments, but to assemble the facts."

    "If needed, such a process could involve subpoena powers, and even the authority to obtain immunity from prosecutions in order to get to the whole truth. Congress has already granted immunity, over my objection, to those who facilitated warrantless wiretaps and those who conducted cruel interrogations. It would be far better to use that authority to learn the truth."

    Boy Howdy! I can just see George and Dick waltzing in, answering to a subpoena and sitting down and spilling their guts. Yeah... Sure.

    And someone please remind this Dead Head Leahy that a very similar situation called the Church Committee did this to get to the "truth" so it wouldn't happen again and that didn't hinder the Bush/Cheney crime syndicate over the past 8 years.
