Debate is heating up in the United States on establishing a "truth commission" to investigate whether the Bush administration abused its legal powers under the guise of its "war on terror."
"Nothing has done more damage to America's place in the world than the revelation that this nation stretched the law and the bounds of executive power to authorize torture and cruel treatment," said Patrick Leahy, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
He opened a hearing on Wednesday pressing for such an investigation saying it was badly needed as each week brought new revelations of alleged abuses under the administration of former US president George W. Bush.

(Yes, we need another congressional committee to white wash the Bush crimes like prior commissions hid the truth of 9/11 and the JFK assassination. Let's get Henry Kissinger to be the head of this one. He’ll make sure we get to the truth, ha, ha, ha.)
