While the Obama administration keeps talking about ‘looking forward’ and not ‘looking back’, a vast majority of Americans support investigation, including criminal investigation, for Dick Cheney and George Bush.

A new Gallop Poll shows a majority of Americans want to have an investigation into the wrong doings of the Bush administration, with more showing interest based on the politicization of the Justice Department followed by wiretaps without warrant, then torture. And while the Gallop poll interprets this as no mandate, of those who want an investigation into the politicization of the justice department (71%), 57% of them want a criminal investigation, For torture and wiretaps 63%, of those who support any investigation 60% want criminal investigation.

Not surprising Democrats favor the investigations more than independents and Republicans, but notable is that there are 20% of Republicans who support criminal investigation for torture, 15% for wiretaps, and 24% for firing U.S. Attorneys. And for independent special panel even more, 24% for torture, 26% for warrantless wirtaps, and 28% for firing U.S. attorneys.

Independents are a hard lot to gather because they range from Libertarians, Green Party, Constitution party, and other, but aside from the firing of U.S. attorney firings, they are also in a majority favoring investigation leaning towards criminal investigation.

And while Gallop Poll wants to say this isn’t a mandate for criminal investigation, overall it is a mandate that says, Investigate the Cheney Bush abuses. Will Congress pay attention?
