What about the Enlisted Men and Women who were tried in court for following out their orders on this same issue in Iraq?

Either let them out of Jail or put these criminals in Jail!

Boy are you right there can you believe what they did to these people and the ones that gave the order Rumsfeld and there officer in charge come out squeaky clean. This is a joke if the Bush administration gets off why are these guys any different than the CIA they followed orders never understood this at all

Mr.Obama says about the economy we have to fix it so it never will happen again.Well I feel the next Bush like president that takes office will say oh He@ll they will not do anything lets just do what we want . This is why Bush and Cheney and Gonzales and Abbington should all be made to pay for all the bad deeds done in the last 8 yrs.These guys were all the planners and executioners of this administration past and before we can move forward they have to be held accountable for it .

Well, there goes our credibility with our allies and the prosecution of the war on moral grounds for the killing of innocents in 9/11/2001 and in the bombing of our embassies in East Africa in 2000. Granted there are worse......Darfur, ethnic cleansing in the Balkans...Campuchea's Red Shirts....but like the Roman Catholic Church giving up its own priests....the Obama Administration's immunity of the previous Bush Administration's violations of human rights and criminal activity in protection of the homeland....is a REAL STRETCH.

Change...we can do it...has become.... "Torture was OK....NO ACCOUNTABILITY"

The Bush Crime Family are not off the hook yet: SPANISH PROSECUTORS ALSO RECOMMENDED NOT PROSECUTING THE MURDERER AND CRIMINAL PINOCHET, BUT THANK GOD, THE SPANISH WENT AHEAD AND INDICTED HIM ANYWAY - LET'S PRAY THEY DO THE SAME WITH THE BUSH CRIME FAMILY!

That's very good. You get an A+ for cutting and pasting from the net. A regular Road Scholar, your parents must be proud. I'm done with you. LOL

So much for putting these animals on trial. Obama has broken yet another campaign promise. Funny thing is there seems to be as much dissapointment in the left with him as there is in the right.

This aint that unusual. It's the common path taken by community activists turned national leaders. Like Evo morales of Bolivia Obama has gotten to the presidency and does not seem to know how to transfoirm the organizational and ideological energy into real world results.

I still like the guy and I want to see him do well. But at this point it doesn't look like he will.

When people who have used torture say it doesn't work you would think some morons would get a clue.

[chenz66]

The problem many of those tortured were not guilty and as someone who knew people who died in 9/11 I don't agree with torturing anyone, it got them nowhere closer to getting the ones responsible for 9/11

Then you are a better person than I am. I am still VERY bitter over the loss of friends.
True we have not captured the masterminds of 9/11 but we will never know the extent of information obtained via the interrogation tactics and what that information prevented.
