Obama advisers: No charges likely vs interrogators

Imagine for a moment how that would have gone down if the party roles had been reversed. This is pretty magnanimous if it comes to pass. A little too so in my opinion since it shows the world we are willing to put up with some torture as long as we're the ones doing it.

I would think at least some minor CIA official would fall on his sword.

Perhaps in his recent intelligence briefings he's realized that we're not actually torturing anyone. I don't know if that's true or not, but he said he'll ensure there is no torture committed by the the US. Then, after these initial briefings, has said no charges will be brought up.


Just a thought.

Let's wait and see. There is probably an intense debate over this within the Obama transition team, and those in favor of prosecutions probably leaked this as a way of stoking outrage and putting public pressure on Obama to tilt toward their preferred policy. This story's not over yet.

Similar to the we wont go after Bush for war crimes, we will not close gitmo, we will not pull out of Iraq, we will not change tax laws.

The Obama supporters had no idea what they were voting for. They are not going to get what they "hoped" for. As more of this come out, the dissapointment will grow and fester. What the media has created it can destroy.

Do I know any of the above will come to pass? Not yet but, the trial ballons are already being launched.

I think it is going to be an "interesting" first term.

This is a done deal. NO laws were broken. Nothing to go after. This whole topic was election year bs. And to follow your lead we will wait and see.

Never fear! There are some partisan hacks willing to do the dirty work for the democratic party:
Vice president, former AG indicted

"A South Texas grand jury has indicted Vice President Dick Cheney and former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales on charges related to the alleged abuse of prisoners in Willacy County's federal detention centers..."

Your guy lost. Get over it.




Should have took your own advise in 2000. Instead we got "Bush stole the election, DIEBOLD rigged for bush, supreme court appointed Bush" for 8 years. Your guy lost! Get over it!
If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

You forgot to mention that Clinton got a blowjob and murdered Vince Foster and Ron Brown.



By the looks of things, Clinton's administration is going to have another shot at it.

John Podesta
Rahm Emanuel
Eric Holder
Possibly Hillary

The change is overwhelming. :S

Very droll. You should re-read your last post.



Yes you should!!

I spoke to his supporters not to or about him.

Heh, for a guy so certain that "NO laws were broken" taking a wait and see attitude seems a little incongruous. ;)

There are US laws and there are international laws. I'm not anywhere nearly as certain as you that the Administration didn't break a few international laws.

I really dont give a rats ass about the international laws you may be speaking too.

My wait and see comment was aimed more at the dissatisfaction I think you all may have with the Pres elect.

Do YOU care to make and guesses as to what might happen?

Did the GOP complain when Bush Jr hired all of Daddy's flunkys that helped lead this country to ruin?

Bush's campaign slogan wasn't "Change We Can Believe In."

I forgot to add Biden to that list.

Oh I see, if you lean to the right you must be a bigot. Typical liberal thinking. Have an open mind as long as you think the same as we do.

No, that's rookie logic.

But if you are a bigot, the chances are very high that you lean to the right. Which is not the same at all as your statement.
