The President announced today that he has no interest in prosecuting the people who tortured on behalf of this country, or words to that effect. I can't go back and get the exact quote. I am too horrified that President Obama can consider this line of action, or inaction.
We have the smoking gun. We have the memos. We have statements from members of the Bush administration going up to the highest levels that brag about the torture. We have the notes! For God's sake, six times a day for a month? Two times a day for a month? In even the most basic of criminal code, if you hit someone once it is called assault. Just once, that's all it takes.
What the hell does it take? Even if the men that actually perpetrated these horrors don't get investigated and brought up on charges, the men that allowed it, ordered it must be held accountable. What kind of warped, sadistic men would do these things in the name of this country, would consider it okay? Allowing them to get away with it would tell future administrations that torture is a naughty no-no, but we shouldn't do it again!
God help us if we don't.
