Amy Goodman : 太大以至于不能出故障,太大以至于不能拘留
星期三, 2009年1月28日
卡尔徘徊最近被描述的乔治W。 布什作为书籍爱好者,文字, ?有布什评论家永存的神话他比读的一个宁可会烧伤书。? 将有许多历史被写关于布什政府。 他们为参考来源资料将使用什么? 布什白宫被起诉了为丢失的电子邮件和为意欲的避开的法律保护公众纪录。 一位联邦法官为电子邮件指令在布什左办公室之前被擦试的正义天白宫计算机。 三百百万电子邮件据报道去全国档案,但23百万电子邮件保持?失去。? 当移动箱子在他的办公室外面时, Dick Cheney副总统在轮椅辞去了职位由于受的背部受伤。 他在他的企图不仅跛行了一个国家隔离信息?他跛行了自己。 Cheney也赢取法庭正式批准决定哪些他的纪录保持私有。 Barack Obama由乔治· Stephanopoulos问关于检控布什政府官员的可能性。 Obama说: ?我们?评估怎么的再平静我们?再去接近审讯,拘留的整体问题等等。 … 我笠头?t相信任何人在法律之上。 另一方面,我也有信仰我们需要今后看与看相对落后。 … [W]我们必须注重的帽子在将来得到事正确,与看相对什么我们得到了错误从前。? 法律作家Karen格林柏格笔记在母亲琼斯杂志, ?潜在的法律突破口名单是,当然,极大的; 由一计数,管理违反了269法律,国内和国际。? 酷刑,窃听和?非凡翻译? ?这些是宣称的严肃的罪行。 obama总统现在比任何人有,更多,力量调查。 约翰Conyers,众院司法委员会的椅子,传唤了卡尔徘徊,当调查司法部的政治化和前阿拉巴马Gov.的政治起诉时。 唐Siegelman。 徘徊早先援用了行政特权避免国会传票。 Conyers在新闻发布说: ?我是否将推进这次调查到法庭上它的结论,在国会或。 … Change has come to Washington, and I hope Karl Rove is ready for it.? House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who blocked impeachment hearings, is at least now calling for an investigation. She told Fox News: ?I think that we have to learn from the past, and we cannot let the politicizing of the?for example, the Justice Department?to go unreviewed. … I want to see the truth come forth.? Why not take it a step further? Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, who led the charge in Congress for impeachment of Bush and Cheney, has called for ?the establishment of a National Commission on Truth and Reconciliation, which will have the power to compel testimony and gather official documents to reveal to the American people not only the underlying deception which has divided us, but in that process of truth-seeking set our nation on a path of reconciliation.? Millions have served time in U.S. prisons for crimes that fall far short of those attributed to the Bush administration. Some criminals, it seems, are like banks judged too big to fail: too big to jail, too powerful to prosecute. What if we apply President Obama?s legal theory to the small guys? Why look back? Crimes, large or small, can be forgiven, in the spirit of unity. But few would endorse letting muggers, rapists or armed robbers of convenience stores off scot-free. So why the different treatment for those potentially guilty of torture, widespread illegal spying and leading a nation into wars that have killed untold numbers? Which brings us back to George Bush and books. Ray Bradbury?s novel ?Fahrenheit 451? is one of the titles in the National Endowment for the Arts? ?The Big Read.? This ambitious program is ?designed to restore reading to the center of American culture.? Cities, towns, even entire states choose a book and encourage everyone to read it. In ?Fahrenheit 451? (the temperature at which paper spontaneously combusts), books are outlawed. Firemen don?t put out fires, they start them, burning down houses that contain books. Bradbury said: ?You don?t have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.? The secretive Bush administration is out of power; the transparency-proclaiming Obama administration is in. But transparency is useful only when accompanied by accountability. Without thorough, aggressive, public investigations of the full spectrum of crimes alleged of the Bush administration, there will be no accountability, and the complete record of this chapter of U.S. history will never be written. ? ? 2009 Amy Goodman Have Your Say: Amy Goodman: Too Big to Fail, Too Big to Jail Please read our posting guidelines before posting.
