Disappointed

President Obama has decided his administration will not prosecute anyone who participated in what are euphemistically called "harsh interrogation" techniques because the perpetrators had supposedly believed what they were doing had been cleared by legal opinions.

Isn't that pretty much the same discredited rationale low-level Nazi war criminals tried to use to justify their actions?

Mr. President, you are a political animal and you've made a political choice to not stir the partisan pot. I understand that.

But I am disappointed that those who severely damaged our international reputation, to say nothing of the integrity of our Constitution, are not going to be held accountable.

I can only hope that our Congress (doubtful) or some human rights group (hopefully) will have the will to see this through.
