Source: No charges seen over interrogation memos

Source: No charges seen over interrogation memos: "WASHINGTON – Justice Department investigators say Bush administration lawyers who approved harsh interrogation techniques of terror suspects should not face criminal charges, according to a draft report that also recommends two of the three attorneys face possible professional sanctions.

The Obama administration decided last month to make public legal memos authorizing the use of harsh interrogation methods but not to prosecute CIA interrogators who followed the advice outlined in the memos.

That decision angered conservatives who accused President Barack Obama of selling out the CIA, and from liberals who thought he was being too forgiving of practices they — and Obama — call torture. The president's rhetoric, if not actual policy, shifted on the matter as the political fallout intensified."

Again, if this is what the government wants to do in examining the documents and letting them out for all to see, having trials etc. then by all means do so. But the pendulum swings back again later and Obama and democrats will pay a much heavier price for their involvements and crimes that have gone unanswered for up to this point.
