Speaking as if he had stepped out of the pages of George Orwell’s novel 1984, Democratic Senator Patrick Leahy said he wants to appoint a “Truth Commission” to investigate a whole range of decisions made during the Bush administration. He says it’s not intended to “humiliate” people, but to discover the truth.
Specifically, Leahy wants to look into detainee abuse, politically-inspired actions at the Justice Department, and matters of Iraq prewar intelligence. “I’m doing this not to humiliate people or punish people,” Leahy said, “but to get the truth out.”
“And after we get the Truth Commission going,” Leahy added, “we’ll start construction on the re-education…I mean summer camps for the Republicans…I mean defendants.”

As long as we're "truthing" I want to know.
1. Is Elvis still alive and selling jelly donuts in Memphis?
2. Did Michael Jackson really die? Or, did he have a sex-change operation and is now known as La Toya Jr?
3. Can HAARP really zap my ass while I"m sunbathing and turn me into a blob of hot fat?
4. Does anything and everything really cause global warming?
5. What really happened to Amerlia Earhardt?
6. What ever happened to Judge Crater?
7. Is Bigfoot real?
8. Who am I and why am I here?
9. I want to see a real Chipicabra.
OK. I say go for it. Right after we investigate FDR for going behind the Congress' back to aid Great Britain in WWII prior to Pearl Harbor. And I want REAL answers about Kennedy's assasination, with nothing retained, no blacked out areas. It was 60 years ago, can't affect National Security anymore (if it ever did). Oh, and don't forget to do deep investigation on the Bay of Pigs, where Kennedy got his advice, and from whom. And how exactly did he win that election? And where did Papa Joe's money come from? Why criminal enterprise!
It all is over and done, nothing can be changed and EVERY single congressman and senator has some kind of skeleton they would like covered up. Remove the plank from your own ey before advising your neighbor on the speck in his!
