As I see it Obama has said he will not go after the interrogators but he has said nothing about his position regarding those that actually planned and authorized the policy. I hope that, unlike Bush, he will focus on the big fish and let the small fish live with what they have done...
Obama isn't going after any fish; he's just another shark. Take a deep breath and hold it until Saint Obama proscutes any of Bush's torturers; he's too busy with his own -- at Bagram Air Base, where all this continues. Torture is wrong NO MATTER WHO does it, just as murdering people with drones is just as evil as murdering them any other way. It may be rough to say, "I was wrong; Obama is just another tyrannical warmonger," but it's better than becoming complicit by making excuses for such evil.
Probably the most important book of 2014 as it gives a comprehensive look at the extent this country of mine has creeped into the bedrooms of all of us across the world-and the importance of hero EDWARD SNOWDEN- in risking his freedom to let all of us know. What we do with that knowledge will say alot about all of us...
If you have not read Ron's book then you do not have the whole story about what I have been doing to try to get my clients out ofGuantanamo. Ron kept up with my activities and even followed me around on occasion to get the full story... then he weaved my story in with the stories of other individuals who are concerned with the direction of the United States. I recommend the book to all of you out there who also care about the direction that the US has gone these past eight years and want to work to change things.

Do you have any theory as to why Obama refuses to indict the CIA operatives involved in these criminal acts of torture?
