"Retroactive accountability" is how our judicial system is supposed to work. Even Olbermann, a huge Obama supporter, said he thought Obama must bring these thugs to justice, else there be a precedent set (or continued) that anything goes with respect to abuses of power. One writer (Heinz B.) who is rather a pessimist on gov't machinery said years ago, when the first Patriot Act went into being, that the opposing party would capitulate to the increased power of the gov't in the belief that it would eventually be their turn to govern, and they would want to have access to the expanded powers. It appears that he is right, but then I thought he would be. Historically speaking, it's rarely, if ever, a powerful central gov't has willingly reduced it's role, or stranglehold, on the populace. Until the entire thing crumbles, anyway.
