Given the mandate the American electorate has provided Democrats, I request the following two items be given priority status:
(1) A serious investigation (NOT A COMMISSION) into TORTURE and other possible WAR CRIMES committed by the Bush Administration or, under the aegis of the Bush Administration over the past eight years
(2) An investigation into Domestic Spying by the Bush Administration including both private and government entities; the purging of all data collected on American Citizens not related to any probable cause or unlawful activity and public notification that such a purge has  been executed.

In the interest of the integrity of our nation, there are no justifiable reasons -- political, Constitutional or legal -- for the failure of Democrats (and fair-minded Republicans) in Congress to pursue zealously and vigorously, these items.
