The U.S. senate is planning to consider the creation of a special committee to investigate the activities of retired President George W. Bush, AFP news agency reports.
The proposed commission would focus on the approach of the Bush administration towards national security in areas such as wiretapping and harsh interrogations, which received past criticism from human rights organizations.
Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy said the experts to make up the so-called “truth commission” will have to decide whether the Bush administration made mistakes in its policies. Leahy, a Democratic party veteran, said the committee should meet to prevent similar mistakes from being made in the future.
The question of the creation of a “truth” commission will be considered during the Senate’s special hearing, the date of which has not yet been set.

Half century Cuba blockade tuning downOn Wednesday, the US Congress has approved a spending bill, which will reduce restrictions against Cuba that were imposed by the former Bush administration. |
It is not the US Senate who should investigate Bush's activities but the TPI of the Haye for wars' crimes and crimes against Humanity. Cheney, Gates and all the wars' instigators: members of that Bush's administration must answer for their actions, from 1980 until the end of that shamefull presidency. This will allow America to be credible again, and to see once and for all if Obama is sincere or just a pawn manipulated by those greedy imperialist masters. This is not just an american problem but a Worldwide credibility's request. Sincerely...Jean-Claude Meslin
