OBAMA WILL NOT PROSECUTE "TORTURERS"
Says "they were only following orders"
President Obama announced today that he will not prosecute government agents for "harsh" interrogation methods used, saying he will continue to investigate their superiors who ordered such techniques.
His left-wing supporters, who elected him under the premise that he would bring the "torturers" to justice, fumed and howled.
The President agreed that the need for immediate and expedited information gathering outweighed other concerns in the previous administration's war on terror. The agents accused of torturing were acting within the bounds of law according to the then Attorney General and thus could not be held accountable for their actions which they were assured were legal.
Attorney General Eric Holder also said that the Justice Department would defend any agent who faced any trial, in the U. S. or in a foreign court for their actions.
The Justice Department also withdrew secret memos outlining the various tactics used during interrogation, saying that to broadcast our techniques would only benefit our enemies.
So it turns out that for all the babbling the lefties did during the election, the President they counted on to take Bush and his administration to task has disappointed them once again.
