Gonzales gave a judgeship to Jay C. Bybee in exchange for writing a recommendation for torture; Bybee was given the judgeship for justifying war crimes! And when he did that, he got the judgeship!
Atty Gen Holder is using Bybees coerced memo as reason why he will not prosecute Bush-Cheney & CIA!
So in the White House, if you want to break the law, just bribe a lawyer to write you a letter saying it is OK!
USA gives tours of the crime scene, but no one is going to be arrested for the crime!
Yes...that is so right, I can only hope that we as a nation will pay billions in reparations to the thousands...uh hundreds, I mean dozens....er, three individuals who were so cruely water-boarded by the Bush adminstration. In fact I just heard that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed recently had to hold his breath to the point of mild discomfort while shampooing his beard in the shower and all those horrible memories came rushing back to him. Allah bless that poor dear man.
I don't believe that we'll ever see Bush, Cheney or anyone of the higher ups at the Pentagon or DoJ put on trial for war crimes. That only happens to the bad guys who loose a war. Turley's reference to Nuremberg and the prosecution of the worst Nazis was right on point. But then it were the Americans, British, French and Russians who decided what would happen. Who is going to have the authority and the power to take on the superpower?
You know, Lioness2907 sadly I am inclined to agree with you. The United States uses it's military as gangsters for capitalism - just like the honorable Major General Smedley D. Butler said, (before he was kicked-out of the military for speaking out)
Land of the free? Bullshit. Land of the Gangsters wrapped in the US Flag. As long as they can turn a profit for the military-industrial-complex, they are 'good old boys' because money and power are all that matters, now. Truth and honor be damned

If Obama doesn't prosecute the fascist bastards, he won't be EVEN a 1-term president.
Catch a clue man: THIS IS WHY WE VOTED YOU INTO OFFICE!

Turley is pure gold. He's relentless in holding to what he knows is right.
