<DIV>The Obama Justice Department has apparently decided that, since torture is
not a crime (at least not anything deserving of prosecution), then concocting
legal doctrines that unleashed torturers around the world is also no offense.
</DIV>
<DIV>A Justice Department internal investigation has concluded that John Yoo and
Jay Bybee were gulity only of “poor judgment” in their memos which brought the
Middle Ages into the new Millennium. </DIV>
<DIV>The <A
href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/01/30/AR2010013001411.html?hpid=topnews">Washington
Post</A> notes: “The conclusion is likely to unsettle <STRONG>interest groups
</STRONG>that have sought a reckoning for lawyers who made possible brutal
interrogation, warrantless wiretapping and other Bush counterterrorism
strategies.”</DIV>
<DIV>Perhaps the Washington Post believes that only special interests oppose
torture???? </DIV></DIV></FONT><br />--
