1. Appoint a special prosecutor, let the chips fall where they may
This will free Obama from dealing with Bush's trash, or adopting it.

2. Y'know, the "look forward" choice was a bit of a strawman
I can't believe even one person voted for it.

3. Full pardon for all the victims.
Nothing else is more important than that.

4. How many skins does Turley have on this site?!
All in all I support the idea of a special prosecutor following the advice of the lady from The Wonkette I think it was. She was on Olbermann and suggested that the special prosecutor doesn't get appointed until more information is released...such as the new set of memos we're all waiting for. We need as much information out there. The reason the pics don't bug me is because they are out there already if you look on the net and Abu Ghraib. I'd like videos though, if there happens to be one or two. I'd especially like the type written and signed memos. That's really what I want out there for people to see. The rationalization of this shit, that is unacceptable.

5. A special prosecutor, following an informal information-gathering effort
aimed at determining whether it is likely that the special prosecutor will be able to find any information on anyone, or whether it is likely that Bush has covered his tracks, destroyed the documents, and routed everything through amnesiac fall guys, making the whole thing a hypercharged version of the Plame case.
