I did not know that Obama had actively worked to protect Bush administration officials from war crimes allegations. That's resoundingly depressing, but explains a lot about why nothing ever came of that.

Big mistake I think. People, the world, Americans, needed to see Rumsfeld and co face some difficult questions.
