A provocative headline, I know, perhaps needlessly so, but it remains one of those hidden secrets in Washington that a Democratic Justice Department is going to be very interested in figuring out whether there's a case to be made that senior Bush Administration officials were guilty of war crimes.

I'd love to know who's whispering that in Ambinder's ear. If this is a secret among Democrats, it certainly is well kept...I've never heard a conservative seriously entertain the possibility. But if that's the plan for an Obama administration, let the healing begin!
