The Moral Clarity of Nancy Pelosi

Nancy Pelosi told Chris Wallace today that she is open to prosecutions of former Bush officials — sort of:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is receptive to the idea of prosecuting some Bush administration officials, while letting others who are accused of misdeeds leave office without prosecution, she told Chris Wallace in an interview on “FOX News Sunday.”

“I think you look at each item and see what is a violation of the law and do we even have a right to ignore it,” the California Democrat said. “And other things that are maybe time that is spent better looking to the future rather than to the past.”

Well, now, that’s nice and clear: If laws were broken, prosecute. If laws were not broken, don’t prosecute. Makes sense to me.
