the problem at hand precisely honed.
I said since I recognized that my President would not investigate/prosecute/incarcerate that we are primed for the same godawful abuses to happen again - in our names.
I have great admiration for President O on many many fronts - yet I rail against his stance on not righting the wrong that was done in our names.
That wrong is too huge to overcome with silence.

Once the American people find a way to justify it one time for one reason it will open the flood gates and the torture will grow.
And at some point it will be used for other reasons...like to solve crime right here at home.

We have learned nothing from history.
