I apologize for the short diary entry, but i saw this and it kinda jumped out at me.
It seems for the first time, a senior Obama administration official is saying that they will, in fact, do SOMETHING about the criminality of the Bush administration.
"We all recognize that it's a very complex and sensitive dynamic, but whatever the answer, discovery in a piece of private litigation is not it. It might be the [Sen. Pat Leahy] truth commission idea, a DOJ truth commission, or even investigations run by the Justice Department. There will be a national clearing of the air," the official said.
Now, maybe i'm wrong on this, but we have a senior administration official, FOR THE FIRST TIME, telling us that SOMETHING will be done about Bush's criminal actions.
It's possible they don't quite yet know what they're going to do. They might take their time figuring it out, after all, they've got at least four years, and a lot of more immediate and pressing concerns to deal with first.
But maybe, just maybe, this little nugget buried in the last paragraph of a story on a completely unrelated subject, will get those Maddow-like concern trolls to calm down a little bit.
