Everyone else is held accountable, that's an expectation we all have, nobody above the law. I understand Obama wanting to look forward, there's so much work ahead, but there wouldn't be so much if there weren't so many problems with this administration, I think they need to be reviewed, and for any criminal charges, they absolutely MUST be held accountable for, why is that even in question? I'd be very disappointed if it was just 'let go' and it's a slap in the face to victims and justice if it's just forgive and forget.

  I'd be very disappointed as well. (See my comment above.) But I'm not sure whether allowing the criminals in the current administration to "get away" with their crimes is the same as forgiving or forgetting.
  
  Apart from the question I posed above of whether it's worse to prosecute and possibly lose power in 2012 or to move past and focus energies on righting the wrongs, I wonder if there's a way to make the public aware just how wrong the past eight years of politiciziation of every executive branch function is, while not giving the Republican propaganda machine ammunition.

    Ideally, President Bush along with Vice President Cheney, and perhaps a few more, should be sent to the Hague. I know it's not going to happen, but that's where they belong.

      A compelling case for the likelihood of its happening is made here:

      Personally, I'd like to see the international community do something. I know that's punting, but it'd be good to see the criminals condemned, whether they wind up behind bars or not...and I'm afraid of political recriminations if it's done internally.
