America and the rest of the world have the right to know!
Because no one is above the law and that rule of thumb has been broken.
It's time to set the record straight as well as that particular thumb.


US President Barack Obama gave a cool welcome Monday to a top US senator's call for a "truth commission" to probe alleged abuses under George W. Bush -- but did not rule out possible prosecutions for wrongdoing.

Obama said at the first press conference of his young presidency that he had not seen the proposal from Democratic Senator Pat Leahy and would have a look at it -- "but my general orientation is to say let's get it right moving forward."

But "my view is also that nobody is above the law. And if there are clear instances of wrongdoing, that people should be prosecuted just like any ordinary citizen," said the president.
