Robert Parry: “Bush won’t be held accountable”
January 4th, 2008 by CD
This is of no surprise that Hillary Clinton would not hold Bush accountable for his illegal actions during his term if she was elected President.

Excerpt: ROBERT PARRY: Right, but if he indeed is telling the truth—and I presume they have talked about this—that if the first thing, as he put it, she would do would be to have him and George H.W. Bush go off on this worldwide trip, it suggests again an unwillingness to really hold this administration, the second Bush administration, accountable. There are many serious issues that will be left hanging, in terms of possible criminal proceedings against this president: his involvement with torture, the possibility there was obstruction of justice in terms of investigations of things like that, the pending issues about Valerie Plame and her exposure, and any number of others. So you have—you can have either an effort to really dig into that and hold them accountable, or you can have this effort to sort of all be in this together and sweep it under the rug and move on, which seems to be what Bill Clinton is talking about.
