If you’re not going after bush, cheney and tennet there’s no point in going after any of the smaller fish. Kevin Drum has a good post up on the subject.

Surely our anger and outrage at Obama for failing to aggressively prosecute Bush for authorizing acts of torture should not surpass our anger at Bush for authorizing them in the first place..
