When do we start calling this a 'cover-up' by the Obama White House?

8. I won't be surprised to see the White House fight over this.

Regardless of what Obama's core beliefs on the matter are (who knows?), I think he's convinced that the spectacle of a long, bitter, divisive, and all-consuming legal battle over war crimes prosecutions for former and current military, government, and security officials would be extremely costly for the Democratic Party. He's signaled pretty clearly and consistently that he's against it. I might suggest he's scared of it.

Even though I marched, rallied, wrote letters, and sent contributions to prosecute the war criminals, I have to admit, reluctantly, that he may be correct in his estimation of the real political support for this fight.

Sure, national polls show broad support exists for things like income equality, but questions about national security and counter-terrorism are among those that remind us of how deeply Americans are divided and how removed from the majority the typical DUer really is.
