So which will it be???

In related news, Huffington Post’s Murray Waas writes that despite the intensifying scrutiny of the authors of the so-called “torture memos,” criminal charges against them are unlikely.

This is where the rubber meets the road with Prez Obama.

Human Rights First

United States interrogators killed nearly four dozen detainees during or after their interrogations, according a report published by a human rights researcher based on a Human Rights First report and followup investigations.

In all, 98 detainees have died while in US hands. Thirty-four homicides have been identified, with at least eight detainees — and as many as 12 — having been tortured to death, according to a 2006 Human Rights First report that underwrites the researcher’s posting. The causes of 48 more deaths remain uncertain.
