Will they all just walk away? Will the criminals who planned and carried out an illegal war with huge consequences simply fade away into history at the end of their terms of office? Many already have, and many more will follow.
The new power that the Democrats have in Congress will be a telling moment for the resurrection of their lost backbones. The root of so much evil in the past six years has been hidden in the secret world of DICK CHENEY
