A few weeks ago I wrote a post here at NRB on a news item that got very little attention from American readers. It’s well-worth revisiting now. The Obama Administration announced through an anonymous source on or about January 31 that no one in the Bush Administration who was involved with green-lighting the water-boarding of terrorists following the 9/11 attacks would face sanctions or prosecution.
I predicted that the American Left and The World of Islam would not let go of this issue, even if Attorney General Eric Holder’s (pictured above) Department of Justice did. True to my prediction the leftist Washington Post Editorial Board is still at it, scolding Bush Administration lawyers Jay Bybee and John Yoo today for okaying the “reprehensible and abusive techniques” (read that: pouring water onto terrorists’ faces to find out where and when the next attack was coming).
