Whitehouse: Before We Can Repair the Harm, We Must Learn the Truth
By: looseheadprop Friday February 27, 2009 8:00 am

You MUST make the time to watch this speech. Sen. Whitehouse would not be talking about the US committing crimes reminiscent of Pol Pot unless he already had a good idea of what the "Truth Commission" was going to find.

....................

"We may have to face the prospect of looking with horror at our own country's deeds."

"No, please, tell us that we did not do that. Tell us that Americans. did. not. do. that."

"Before we can repair the harm of the last eight years, we must learn the truth."

1. I'd like to hear this from THE "White House"

2. yeah I was gonna say I wish it was the OTHER white house

11. Fortunately we don't NEED to "hear this" from THE White House... thanks to the separation of powers

Congress can do this all on their own. The Executive can, and should, keep its hand out of these proceedings.

3. Support a Truth & Reconciliation Commission

4. exactly....unfortunately, even some DUers want the Dems to deny accountability and access to

open government that is the right of every American.

Sad - but we see it almost every day here.

5. 5th rec ~ everyone needs to hear this

6. Contrition does not come easy to us.

Now there is some real truth.

[L. Coyote]

8. INDEED. The Native Americans are still in their concentration camps (err reservations)

While there is about 50% public land in the West! Go figure why we cannot give them back what we stole?

7. K&R! n/t

9. I do not recall Leahey RULING OUT prosecution. . .

While I would like to see each and every last one of them in the slammer... I agree with Whitehouse that all the information must come out.

12. Sen. Leahy: "Noone is above the law." Guess who noone is!

Here is the video of what he said:
