No governement, not even the USA will ever prosecute itself for torturing the enemy. By the time you declare war, and start the killing, you are pretty certain that you are right and have already forgiven yourself everything to come. In our case revenge against twenty people from one country, or at least one mission, is enough to spur the torture of many in another country completely unrelated except by religion ... but I digress.
Until we have an international body with some moral authority, we in the western world just need to vote for people with a conscience.
By the way, it's very possiblem, and rumors have always been, that all our Presidents have sent, or "had" certain people sent to detention camps known for using "harsh questioning techniques". It may not be as unusual as we think, so let's not act like we're totally shocked.

In my political memory, there are two national politicians who did not honor the code of silence, if you will, and they are Mr. Carter and Mr. Gore. *as a throw away point, Sen.

Would you not fight for materials that prove your points? Materials held by those who spear you at every turn? I know I would. This is a big deal South of the 49th. Our Speaker has called out The CIA. The CIA, under a former Rep. in The House, a Democrat, has called her on her call. Some are almost asking the certain individuals be boiled in oil, while those claiming innocence or understandable actions, are blocked at each turn. This is both a national security fight and a Party free for all, including in-Party fighting *see: Speaker Pelosi and CIA Director and Former US Rep, D-CA, Leon Panetta*. Mr. Obama would like to appear to be beyond the fray in this matter, but he authorized certain memos for release, those which question Team Bush actions, and blocks those which would prove some actions taken by Team Bush, were of great benefit to the safety of The People, here and abroad. Some good old fashioned bare-knuckle politics in full view.
Well said, thanks.

The memos were released because an unknown party sued using the Freedom of Information Act, so they were going to be released anyway. I don't care what they did. We don't do that. That is why we are not terrorists. That is why we are "the greatest country in the world." We have rights, protected by the Bill of Rights, and it doesn't say just Americans.

Real simple: Mr. Obama authorized the release of certain memos pertaining to those detained in Gitmo, memos that outlined certain enhanced interrogation techniques. The revelation of such techniques were used to thrust attacks against Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney. Mr. Cheney asked that memos showing invaluable intel was gleamed from some of those detained at Gitmo, intel that might well have saved perhaps hundreds of thousands of lives. No, those can't be released, they would compromise methodologies used. Well, that is exactly what the released memos did. So, in short, Mr. Cheney asks that memos which would support his contention that lives were saved by employed methods, be released given that memos that were released clearly had a political purpose. That purpose was two-fold: what was done at Gitmo and who authorized it. It was a blunt political club wielded by Team Obama. I think in fairness, Mr. Cheney's requests should be honored. As an added bonus, Mr. Cheney's requests, if honored, would buttress the contention that certain interrogation techniques did/do save lives. A point supported by President Obama's intel czar, Mr. Dennis Blair. Why not offer the additional memos for public review? Mr. Obama has already compromised sensitive national security information. It can not be further compromised. So, why not honor the requests of Mr. Cheney? Politics, raw, pure and simple won't allow it. As for why is he still talking? Last I heard, he was still a free man in a free country. We've not yet reached the point that ousted public servants are subject to exile, even though some seem to move along those thought lines. May they never realize such a goal.

Some folks might not like it, might not wish to hear it, but the President who has told us to look forward, spends an inordinate amount of time looking backward. Releasing memos Mr. Cheney says would shed light on successes would remove one of the attacking points expressed while looking backward. Those memos released served a political purpose. Those being held might do the same, only they might be of benefit to someone on the other side of the political aisle. Raw politics in action...again, not a sign of change.

What makes you think he would go quietly into his cave and not say a word. He wants the final say! He wants you to believe his stories, not the truth. He has been doing this for 8 years.
And Kurt, I believe that Cheney & Co. were planning a coup of the government in the event that McCain/Palin got elected. They would get rid of McCain and use Palin just like they used W, to run a shadow government behind a figurehead dummy.
Mr. Cheney asked that those memos which would show attacks that were thwarted, be released. That request was denied, in part on the premise to do so would reveal intel methodologies. And the memos that were released didn't do just that? Some folks might not like it, might not wish to hear it, but the President who has told us to look forward, spends an inordinate amount of time looking backward. Releasing memos Mr. Cheney says would shed light on successes would remove one of the attacking points expressed while looking backward. Those memos released served a political purpose. Those being held might do the same, only they might be of benefit to someone on the other side of the political aisle. Raw politics in action...again, not a sign of change.
