62. Against the torture experts? I thought I heard some talk about a justice dept.
Executive reach around to protect them.

So then are they above the law or aren't they?
I believe the defense of this lawlessness was "they were following orders in good faith".
That defense just doesn't have any legal weight.

The only investigations of the CIA I am aware of have to do with their "creative" record management and destruction of evidence.

We know who committed torture. They are not being charged with it.

They were assured that they would not be.

If they ever are charged with their crimes, it will be against the stated wishes of your hero.

Transparency was just a lie and failing to comply with a lawful FOIA request looks like the lack of transparency is deliberate.

Are you new to DC politics or are you being deliberately obtuse as you watch the usual script being followed yet again.
