"The president, a Nobel Peace Prize winner, has made it clear that no further investigations or inquiries will be made into America’s decade of torture. His Justice Department failed to prosecute a single torturer or any of those who helped cover up evidence of the torture practices. But it did deliver a jail sentence to one ex-CIA officer who refused to be trained to torture and was among the first at the CIA to publicly admit that the torture program was real."

This is what you do as Time's Person of the Year.

Nothing to see here...move along.

The Just-us Department also dropped charges in a huge white slavery ring involving billionaire CEOs (I have to recall the specifics to provide a link) and an investigation into financial fraud at Goldman Sachs.

Well #1, Navy SEALS did not kill OBL last spring.  Secondly, torture techniques are not reliable because under such duress, a prisoner would theoretically say whatever it takes to free him/her from the psychological or physical pain.

From Naomi Wolf: "this is so so so bad. This agent spoke up against the torture he knew about and they are using the espionage act against him - a fascistic use of the espionage act (which has not been used until recently since the teens of the last century) to quell dissent and whistleblowing that sadly End of America predicted..."
