As the old Norwegian saying goes, “A dead fish starts to stink from the head first.” And we can still smell the stink coming from he Department of Justice. Ought you not tend to that first before you start to stink too?

Once you get your own house in order, then turn your attentions to the mountains of stomach turning, well-documented evidence of high crimes, felonies and war crimes committed by the former occupants of the White House. You know, all those news stories you might have read about exposing the Bush administration's torture of POWs, illegal wiretaps of innocent Americans, kidnapping, and yes, murder.

Out here we assume that, if reporters found out about these crimes then certainly trained law enforcement investigators and those thousands of law school grads you employ, should be able to nail down at least a few high profile Bush administration prosecutions.

Are we wrong about that?

I understand you're new to the job.  So if you are having trouble finding the evidence of which I speak, I've collected a hunk of it and posted it here. (http://www.bushproject.com) Feel free to dip in and take what you need. But I don't have subpoena power. You do. So use those powers to fill in any gaps.

Then take these cases before a grand jury of regular Americans and see what happens.

Eric, you have no shortage of things that need immediate attention  – critically important things, alleged crimes that 71% of Americans want you to pursue.

Oh, and there's the rest of the world, they're watching too. They're watching you and Barack Obama. They are watching to see if America is still a land of “laws, not men” – or not.  They are waiting to find out whether America's stated core values -- justice for all, no one is above the law, etc. -- are the real deal, or just jingoistic bumper sticker slogans. (Something a growing number of Americans have begun to wonder themselves.)

Your call, Eric.

But almost nowhere is the rest of the world laying awake night wondering whether or nor American's weekend barbeque's have become touchy-feelie, racially focused 12-Step discussion groups.

Thank you for your immediate attention to these matters.

Sincerely,
The Rest of Us.
