Yesterday, Senator Kit Bond when asked whether or not high-level officials should be punished for war crimes such as torture, said:
“Well, we don’t go back and look at previous administrations, and try them for crimes. That is a, that is the ultimate in the ‘Bush derangement syndome,’ uh, which I believe any, any person who thinks through it will recognize that it would be a total disaster.” (emphasis added)

The present situation could prove a great test of our Constitution. Let’s put it to good use and ensure that no one is above our laws, no matter what his or her job title. If employees at any level of government are guilty of anything criminal, they should be prosecuted to the maximum extent of the law, period.
By the way Senator, Chris was more likely referring to prosecuting the people who made those so-called, “lawful” orders – not their underlings at the CIA.
Never mind trying to understand that supposed “crime” you accused Bill Clinton of committing in all that garble.
