The war crimes continue with more revelations about the lies that were told over and over to justify a criminal enterprise formulated by the Bush Cabal spearheaded by Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney. President Obama continues to use the criminal organization, Blackwater, to guard US State Department personnel while covering up and refusing to investigate or prosecute their crimes.
Jeremy Scahill, national security reoporter for the “Nation”, joined Keith Olbermann on “Countdown” to discuss the latest Wikileaks documents and their implications.
Obama has intervened to stop lawsuits against Rumsfeld and the command authority who gave the orders to torture detainees. . . .
They were systematically supporting death squads, turning a blind eye, to torture and torturing at the same time. . . .
Those people who were against the war from the beginning, who were saying that the war was based on lies, who said that civilians were paying the heaviest price, they’ve been vindicated. There were serious war crimes. They need to be held accountable by the Obama adminstration and that’s where Congress needs to put pressure on this administration.
(this is a rough transcript of some of Mr. Scahill’s comments. I apologize for any inaccuracies. There was no transcript from MSNBC.)

I highly doubt that if the Republicans regain control of the House that any investigations that they will conduct about Pres. Obama will involve his covering up the war crimes of the Bush Cabal. There is no honor among thieves and liars or, for that matter, war criminals.
