Well, Actually, I believe if there is just cause to believe that there was a wanton disregard for life, there should be an investigation. The military under the previous administration used unmanned vehicles, as is the current one. These drones appear to have extremely accurate high-resolution photography & high-accuracy targeting, hence you aren't haring any questions about indiscriminate military actions.

On the other hand, the hot potato of who authorized what to whom regarding enhanced torture techniques has become one of deny, deny, deny. Didn't anyone think it odd that the Attorney General of the United States sat before the United States Congress under oath and simply kept saying "I don't recall, I don't recall." . And many more form the Administration did the same thing. Either they represent a serious glandular amomaly that caused Bush executives to suffer from Alzheimer's or they lied. As intelligent adults, which do you think it was?

This kettle of fish was self-brewed. Personally, I believe it arises from the arrogance of power: "No one can tell us what to do or how to do it." This same arrogance may overcome the Obama administration as well. I hope not. But if laws are broken, then investigations are incumbent upon Congress or an independent counsel.

I believe that it is in our natures- conservatives do not like to air dirty laundry, while liberals are often over-eager to do the opposite. And is is a huge mistake to think that Democrats act in one accord. If you notice the Republican votes in the House, they are virtually unanimous against the Democratic majority, whatever the issue. Tom DeLAy, Dick Armey and Newt Gingrich make non apologies for such partisanship.

Democrats, with feckless leadership like Tom Daschle and Harry Reid, were unable to ride herd on their members, and always look disorganized. Republicans run their party like a business; Democrats don't run their party at all. Republicans have problems where the product they are offering is not something the American people desire; Democrats have problems getting a unified message out at all.
