ORIGINAL: bipolarber I wonder if there is any way, once Obama is in office, of having the first words out of his mouth as President be: "Sargent at arms, arrest those men!" (pointing toward Bush, and Cheaney) Probably not... but I can't imagine a single other gesture that would restore the faith of the American people in it's government. Cheney and the underlings are certain to get blanket pardons, watch the late news on christmas eve for the announcement, and GWB may try and pardon himself as well. AIUI the opinions of Constitutional scholars on whether he can pardon himself are quite mixed. The whole crowd is almost certain to be facing a bunch of international warrants but I'm guessing they won't be enforced in the US and since GWB never traveled before he was President I doubt it will bother him at all.
