I dunno if I can add to this. Frankly, I'm sick to my stomach. But, in essence, the Obama administration via the DOJ has asked the Court to grant immunity to George W. Bush for war crimes committed by him (it appears to cover both during and after his "service" as President).
In light of Mr. Manning's 35 year sentence for essentially casting light on the very dark activities of our government, I just can't choke this down.
