Last night on Countdown, Keith Olbermann talked to Jonathan Turley about the possibility of a Truth Commission and his strong opposition to it and his feelings that it is just a way to make sure no one is prosecuted for war crimes in the Bush administration.

Rachel followed with an interview with Pat Leahy where he leaves open the possibility of prosecutions if anyone either refuses to testify, lies under oath, or doesn't fully disclose what they know during that testimony.

I think Leahy is sincere with him not wanting what has happened over the last eight years to go unaccounted for. I do think however that Jonathan Turley is right if we're going to ever have any real accountability for the war crimes that have been committed, someone needs to go to jail and be held truly accountable for what they've done.

I would imagine the Democrats are worried that if they go after the Bush administration the Repulicans will go into full lock down mode and obstruct everything they try to do which we really can't afford right now with the economy on the brink of another depression. My hope is if we see another pick up for Democrats in the Senate this might no longer be a concern.
