(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.

If they want a war, go ahead and try it.

"I cant say Ive ever seen such over-reaching in my life.." Just wait until this investigation really gets going. You haven't seen anything yet. They'll end up deposing Laura and the twins before this is over - and I'm only half joking.

The only way Dubya would end up behind bars is if he installed them on his home’s windows...like they do in neighborhoods that voted overwhelmingly for Obama.

I guess you would pursue this course only if you plan on never being out of office yourself.

I am with you 100% — try and do this and the Democrats will NEVER be back in power. I want their whole liberal party destroyed. I am tired of the socialist/communist running the Dem Party and the United States. They need destroyed in 2010.

Hey, look at the moose!
(Not Obama's speech to kindergarteners or Communist Van Jones or Obama's plunging approval ratings or his Socialist "trigger" healthcare bill he's not constitutionally capable of penning or his now losing the war in Afghanistan or the anti-Chavez rebellion in Venezuela or Michelle's fat @ss or unemployment at a 26-year high or..........look at the moose!

I mean, what are they thinking? That treating the CIA like a cheap whore won’t come back to bite them? That prosecuting a previous administration won’t lead to their own eventual prosecution? Insanity now rules.

Is former CIA agent David Brookes the typical CIA agent or is he a rogue?
With Obama and Van Jones in the White House, it seems he represents the norm rather than the exception.
I am having doubts that there are any good guys left in the organization.
To: WhistlingPastTheGraveyard
Obama isnt going to be in office forever. Once the true damage this administion has done is known, he is goin to be lucky if he ends up in jail and not hung as a traitor.
This man is the true meaning of “Communist thug”.

Could Barack Obama end up behind bars? Or the fraud, Al Gore?

This is on the home page of CNN. The same home page with a blackout of Van Jones.

I have a feeling that when the smoke finally clears, reach-across-the-aisle RINO-type Republicans will be extinct.
