Obama said it will be up to Attorney General Eric Holder to decide whether or not to prosecute the former officials. "With respect to those who formulated those legal decisions, I would say that is going to be more a decision for the attorney general within the parameter of various laws, and I don't want to prejudge that," Obama said during a meeting with Jordan's King Abdullah at the White House. "There's a host of very complicated issues involved there. As a general deal, I think we should be looking forward and not backward.


So it looks like they may be on the path to being trialed in an international court. Normally I am against international anything, but these are war crimes done internationally.

Seriously? the fact that this is hitting the ground running is sad..

It appears that the response the USA, made after 911, is asked to be punished, we basically ravaged the World, and found the people that were responsible for attacking us, also we got answers and people paid for it, In essence the wrath of wounded dieing god swept the world, and now 2009, everyone is demanding Punishment for what? Questionable tactics to get answers to protect the country? Man their bigger and meaner issues on the burner right now, like Osama bin laden, or North Korea, or Iran, or the unstable middle east, yet CNN, and all the other mainstream media, numb skulls wanna go back into the past.. WOW.. We are setting ourselves for failure.. Freaking 100 usda failure. Our enemies are laughing and playing our politicians today.. tomorrow and maybe even a few from now.. Just stupid.. We have a short term memory we do.. I suppose it will take another assault on America, to really make us remember how unsafe we really are.. tortue to me is starvation, beatings, um, knives cutting eyes out, things like that.. What we did was torture it was tactics to get answers, how else can we get answers from our enemies? LOL HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA seriously how else? Asking please.. Lets move on to something more important, this is not news this is, just distractions..

First you compare our president to a known terrorist based on nothing, then you say he's the real enemy.

ATS has changed into an absolute breeding ground for ignorance
