On the issue of money? Congressional investigations and all that good stuff.
But on the issue of mandating torture and the refusal to uphold the constitution? No one gives a fuck. No money in it. No one currently in power to discredit.
It’s not that they shouldn’t be investigating this. They should. But we need to own up to all our corruption, not just some of it, otherwise you’ll have a situation like AIG getting bailed out to save a select few (going after pay-for-play politics) while you have Lehman brothers fall and take all the world market down by a quarter (the torture photos getting leaked anyway, and then possibly witchhunts against the soldiers-of-the-line, but nothing about the men who thought it would be a good idea to make their flunkies torture “enemy combatants” for no good reason, and all sorts of ill-will against us for trying to hide this and the men who caused it).
The issue of torture is a wound to our great nation, and if we let it fester it will only rot us. The truth will come out, sooner or later, one way or another, just like it always does – usually when the men responsible have died, after living our their lives of luxury (or in the case of soldiers of the line who were the instruments, probably ending up in poverty and misery whether or not the issues are brought to light – there’s no way you can receive the proper mental care to rid yourself of having performed those actions).
But hey, the Democrats will get to look noble here, by saying “Hey, look, we got our own guys in trouble too! We let your baddest guys get away; they had a hard job to do. We’re so fair!”
