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.

AND I demand that you stop mollycoddling Jorge and continue the efforts against Zero.

But put aside those flimsy memories about Bush...most of them are based on emotion not fact.

The facts remain: Bush had 8 years to turn this nation forward on a path of Conservatism and he merely opened the door to Zero. Whatever little he did that was conservative he did kicking and screaming all the way.

His Presidency was such a wasted opportunity.

I know you're mad, eleni. But the eeeeeeevil Bush is gone now. I can't "mollycoddle" him........as if I ever did. LOL! (Funny thought)

Now get on with your life, get over these emotional outbursts, and try to save the country with me.

If you don't want to, don't complain about what happens. I'm fighting. You can do what you want.

Trying only counts in horseshoes. FACT: He didn't!

Ted Kaczinski hasn't mailed out any letter-bombs recently, either.

Does he (Kaczinski) get any credit for being reformed?

You really do like insulting conservatives, don’t you?

In my neck of the woods, we tend to take offense to being called a “liar”.

Mad doesn't begin to describe it.

But what's amazing here is that you - a self promoting conservative activist - are so breathlessly willing to give Jorge a free pass.

Now that is disturbing.

That makes little sense.

BTW—a hint: an honest critique of the “compassionate” Bush signifies a powerful and principled aggression against Zero.

Then stop doing it, and you won't have to be offended.

Now since the flyswatter didn't work, I may have to try something a bit more potent to get you to leave me alone.

How's THIS?

Have a great life, son. Become involved. Fight the Marxists. BE a conservative, don't play one on the Internet.

GOOD BYE!

So since Bush is the enemy, you should be totally supporting of the Obama administration's attempt to put him in jail.

I hope you'll be happy when this happens, because all that rage is eating you up inside.

Oh.....and btw, I disagree with some of what President Bush did, but there is NO need for me to attack him. People like you who are filled with irrational rage do enough for 1000 others. I disagree with his immigration policy, but I don't think he's the devil personified because of it. I think signing CFR was a mistake, but I don't think he's a despicable traitor because he did.

All I do here is defend him against the lies and false accusations bandied about so recklessly. If that bugs you, so be it. I just don't like lying.

That’s just it: I haven’t lied.

“Have a great life, son. Become involved. Fight the Marxists. BE a conservative, don’t play one on the Internet.”

You first. First thing would be to realize that the Party doesn’t matter: actions do. Until then, you are fighting for one part of the SAME side. The other side.

Maybe, eventually, you’ll grow up enough to realize that.

Lots of politicians pose with their tools---the Saudis posed with theirs.

Indeed, GWB did not give amnesty to illegals in the same way Hillary Clinton did not give HillaryCare to America.

OK. One last shot.

I defended President Bush's integrity and his faith.

I defended his strong pro-life stance. I defended his stellar choice of conservative judges. I defended his strong support of the military, and the war in Iraq. I have enumerated my MANY Conservative credentials and my provable conservative activism.

There is NOT ONE LIBERAL POLICY that I have defended here and you know it.

You are lying about what I have said, and you know it.

No more from me. And no more lying from you, boy. It's getting disgusting. There is no reason to believe you are anything more than an August sign on date trouble making troll.

“That makes little sense.”

That’s because it’s based entirely on emotion. Therefore, they feel no need or desire to defend the liberal policies we oppose. They feel any questioning of him is an attack on their “friend”.

Just like the Obamabots.

LOL! You are such a stitch, eleni.

Thanks for ending this little "debate" with a laugh.

I never thought that conservatives could get caught up in personality cults like Ohiowfan seems to done.

An honest evaluation of the Bush years can lead to a growing base for conservative values.

We are definitely on the same side - the right side - although I think I’m a bit more ideologically conservative than you are

God bless! :>)
