WASHINGTON (AP) - The chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee is proposing a "truth commission" to investigate abuses of detainees, politically inspired moves at the Justice Department, and whole range of decisions made during the Bush administration.
Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., said the primary goal of the commission would be to learn the truth rather than prosecute former officials, but said the inquiry should reach far beyond misdeeds at the Justice Department under Bush to include matters of Iraq prewar intelligence and the Defense Department.
Leahy outlined his suggestion for a "truth and reconciliation" commission during a speech at Georgetown University Monday.
"I'm doing this not to humiliate people or punish people but to get the truth out," he said.
The panel he envisions would be modeled after one that investigated the apartheid regime in South Africa. It would have subpoena power but would not bring criminal charges, he said.
Among the matters Leahy wants investigated by such a commission are: the firings of U.S. attorneys, treatment and torture of terror suspect detainees, and the authorization of warrantless wiretapping.

Have you any idea how tired I get of plugging VRWC secrets in this forum? You were NOT supposed to say anything about the mutant badgers until AFTER they were released.
Damn, now we have to go back to the mutant killer shrews...

Leahy: We Need a "Truth Commission" to root out Orwellian Abuses of Power
Like letting the White House run the census?
Like pushing a "stimulus" that, according to the CBO will make things WORSE?

You didn't get the update memo?
The program was canceled since we found out there's some things even mutant badgers won't eat.

Oops, never mind...

The press ranks higher than the politicians - in their own minds at least . . . .

Don't worry; you can say it here. The Minions of the ministry of Troof suffer from extreme delusions of adequacy

Lets find out the "truth" about who injected the new eugenics section into the "Porkus Maximus" bill the idiots just voted for! Ceertainly, they have excepted themselves, because as far as I am concerned, not one of them is worth the $10 tylenol the nurses foist on you.

Leahy: We Need a "Truth Commission" to root out Orwellian Abuses of Power
Two words, Mr. Leahy:
Fairness.
Doctrine.
Start there first and then we'll talk.
-
Actually, the concept of Leahy heading up a "truth and reconciliation commission" sounds pretty Orwellian.

Ummmm, about those sea bass.......we don't have any left.
There was a calibration problem with the sharks with frickin laser beams attached to their heads.
On the bright side, we did have a nice seafood buffet that evening.

I'm not talking about the fake image of him that the left adores - I'm talking about the reality of the man and what he did. Viva la revolution!

So am I. Some cocksucking liberal attorney has got to own the copyright to Che's methods and tactics.

Che's surviving family own the "rights". They've tried to sue The People's Cube on numerous occasions.

all the more reason for me to throw his name about and discredit it - and him. :)

My reading of Che's death indicates he died a coward's death. Sniveling and far not nearly as well as did those he murdered only for his own perverted pleasure. Even Castro knew he was a sick forkq and threw him out of Cuba with the warning to stay in Cuba, you'll be executed.
