Holder: Won't criminalize terror policy disputes

Associated Press Writer= WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General Eric Holder left open the possibility Thursday to prosecuting former Bush administration officials but ruled out filing charges merely over disagreements about policy.
"I will not permit the criminalization of policy differences," Holder testified before a House Appropriations subcommittee.
"However, it is my responsibility as attorney general to enforce the law. It is my duty to enforce the law. If I see evidence of wrongdoing I will pursue it to the full extent of the law," he said.

Reich-the medical profession was second. "I will not permit the criminalization of policy differences."="We don't torture/Well we tortured some folks..." it's the law, blah, blah,blah.
Torture is policy here in America in many ways and forms.
We, the people must end it and hold accountable the architects and enablers. The DoJ isn't monolithic about this.
