President Barack Obama yesterday released the memos that established the Bush administration’s flawed legal justification for specific types of torture. Obama also made the correct and responsible decision when he simultaneously ruled out prosecution of CIA operatives who acted in good faith on that legal guidance. Those actions may seem at odds with each other, but they reflect this administration’s commitment to the rule of law and transparency, as well as Obama’s commitment to protecting the men and women on the front lines who often risk their lives in secret to protect the United States...
Hopefully, he'll show leadership on torture prosecutions. I keep hoping that he's waiting to be forced into it, because he doesn't want the GOP to whine that he initiated the investigations/prosecutions.
But it is required by law that we investigate and prosecute, now that proof has been uncovered.
Torture is torture. There is no such thing as "acting in good faith" when it comes to torture. I demand that anyone, and everyone who has engaged in torture be prosecuted for that crime!
