Richard Clarke, on what “remedy” there could be for the Bush misadministration's lying and misuse of pre-war Iraq intelligence, besides impeachment -- which has been ruled out -- and sending their pasty rich white asses to the darkest pit in Hell:
“Someone should have to pay in some way for the decisions that they made to mislead the American people,” said Clarke. “[S]ome sort of truth and reconciliation commission” might be appropriate because "I just don’t think we can let these people back into polite society and give them jobs on university boards and corporate boards and just let them pretend that nothing ever happened when there are 4,000 Americans dead and 25,000 Americans grieviously wounded, and they’ll carry those wounds and suffer all the rest of their lives."
I still like my suggestion the best.

Let's 'think outside the box', 'move to another paradigm', (or whatever consultant/corpo-speak phrase you prefer) for a moment - - why can't we do BOTH?? Have the 'truth & reconciliation' investigation, and then 'lock them in stocks & throw shit at them' as the penalty phase? Works for me. Quandary resolved.
You're welcome!
No - there are 7,000 Americans dead. About 3,000 of them happened to be on the receiving end of bin Laden's strike on American soil the administration pooh-poohed.
