Update, January 14: Final vote 30 yes, 2 no, 1 present. Get FISA Right has officially endorsed the special prosecutor idea. Thread locked. Thanks to all for participating!
We’ve had two good discussion threads so far (here and here) on whether or not Get FISA Right should endorse the Bob Fertik’s idea Appoint a Special Prosecutor for the Crimes of the Bush Administration in the change.org Ideas for Change in America competition.
Sam Stein’ Obama Leaves Door Open To Investigating Bush, But Wants To “Look Forward” gives an overview of President-elect Obama’s position as well as Bob’s. I’ve invited Bob (whose a long-time Get FISA Right member) to post here on why he thinks this makes sense, and also asked Ari Melber (who’s been working with Bob and covering this at The Nation) for his perspectives, but haven’t heard yet whether they’re interested.
So with the Thursday 2 PM Pacific time deadline for Ideas for Change, let’s get the voting started now.
Please remember that we’re voting on whether Get FISA Right should endorse the idea, not on whether each of us as individuals supports it.
