Truth Commission May Not Lead to Prosecutions
by Matt Renner, t r u t h o u t | Report
It seems that the Democrats are intent on a commission and Republicans are mostly opposed. But the fine line is the truth that it is about investigations and if immunity is involved then prosecutions may be hampered. This should portend that special prosecutors are the way to go, before the Republicans flip-flop for immunity. Of course the media would love and the politics would flare* over open hearings, and selective immunity may combine the best of all worlds.
If there is no stomach for prosecutions the only alternative is a full blown international Truth and Reconciliation of all violence, religious, political or economic, beginning with the death penalty off the table**, except for corporations, being their status as wholly created beings of government.
* international scope [UPDATE]
** replaced with a floating Elba or Rikers.
