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.

They will recruit from inner city gangs.

Then it will be sure victory. These inner city minority gang thugs only attack when they outnumber their victims 10 to 1, who are unarmed. These 0bozo thug bastards will scatter like mice & vermin, as soon as they run up against armed citizens who are determined to reclaim OUR country.

“Can you just see a tent city of armed patriots on W’s ranch.”

That wouldn’t help much Bush now lives in Dallas.

I'm still in shock that ANYONE, no matter how deep the hatred for a man of utter integrity, George W. Bush, could not respond in horror to Marxist thugs threatening to put him in jail.

There was a time I was in shock...not any more.
It is disgusting and evil that these "people" cannot rise above it all and join us to defeat the utter destruction we are now facing from the communists in the highest places of power in our country.

“So rather than supporting Bush (pro-life, pro=military, conservative judges, moral, man of integrity), you will attack him and ignore the Marxist thugs trying to take him down.”

Was he pro-life? Hard to tell. He said he was. His wife wasn’t. Pro-military? Worn-out equipment from overuse and no money to replace it and back-to-back deployments because he wouldn’t fight the war, but became Wilsonian on DEMOCRACY! Maybe, maybe not. Moral? He violated his oath of office. Man of integrity? Maybe. Maybe not. I only have his policies with which to judge him. Not sure he was honest with us when he ran on SS reform and then decided to spend his political capital on amnesty.

Matthew 7:16 comes to mind.

Just one question, FC.

Did you read this article? Do you know what it's talking about?

What is the point of arguing political opinion about an honorable man when our whole country is going down? When we have a Marxist in the WH?

My question is about your priorities.

btw, if you can't see any good in George W. Bush, then your eyes are sealed shut. If you can't defend the sanctity of life, the honoring and respect of our military, the incredible judges appointed, then you are missing some basic priorities.

I'm sorry. But you are.

My mind is fully engaged, eleni.

That's why I can see that your emotions are out of control.

Try thinking for a change instead of reacting in mindless anger.

We are under attack by Marxists and thugs, and you can't even focus on the evil at hand because of your feelings against Bush.

THINK!

If you observed President Bush one single day, you would have seen the fruit of his redemption in Jesus Christ, his Lord and Savior. As a believer, it would have been impossible to miss.

It is impossible to debate with someone who is so clearly ignorant, so I will leave this discussion with the things I have already said.

May God bless and protect President Bush from ALL his enemies, especially the Marxist anti-American thugs in the WH who hate him BECAUSE of his morality and strength.

Because our country is going down and the man you adore helped. He was not an honorable man. He violated his oath.

“If you can’t defend the sanctity of life, the honoring and respect of our military, the incredible judges appointed, then you are missing some basic priorities.”

Abortion is still legal, the military was used for nation-building (something the man ran against - another lie), we had to force the issue on one of those judges.

If you are blind to the trillions added to our debt, and the expansion of government (DHS, NCLB, Medicare-D) under a “Republican” then you truly are blinded by devotion to Bush the PERSON and are unable to see anything beyond him.

That the current guy is an order of magnitude worse does not excuse Bush.

As you know, I've been away a while, so seeing this blind hatred really does shock me.

The lack of priorities, the lack of conservatism, the lack of values, the lack of concern for the Constitution in people who call themselves conservatives, is overwhelming.

Amen, and well said! He also said we had to give up capitalism in order to save it.

You actually followed him around for a whole day? His redemption is between him and God. His actions as President are what we have to live with.

There is no way to debate a blind man.

Have a good day, Favor Center. And make sure to fight the Marxists, not the good guy.

Yes.... Bush did call himself a conservative, after all....

Stupidly argumentative. Missing the point deliberately. Blindness. Good bye.

Bush wasn’t the “good guy”. Liberals aren’t the “good guys”.

It is your conceit that we are the ones blind, but the reality is different.

No terrorist attacks on our soil after 9/11. A lot of us can "live" with that.

Now trundle back to Idiotville from whence you oozed.

30,000 or so dead due to illegal aliens since 9/11.

A lot of us can’t live with that.

Sorry, I’m not from Washington, DC.

I agree. Conservatives are slow to act. It is their nature.

I have said that this cold war will only end when one party is either removed or withdraws from the field.

Are you delusional? The left has infiltrated every single major instituion in this country and controls it. Yes even the CIA, the state department, most government bureaucrats are leftists and remain so even during republican administrations because they don’t purge the lower ranks. they control media, education, major foundations, unions, wall street, communications. They have been at it since the first comintern in 1917. Their job is almost totally complete with the exception of some rare pockets. Do you actually believe they left the military alone? That somehow they don’t have their minions in high echelon positions of power?
