Obama Lets Bush War Crime Criminals Skate Away

Obama, who had promised to have the most open and transparent Presidency, has officially allowed those who participated in Bush-era war crimes to walk away.



Obama's justice department grants final immunity to Bush's CIA torturers
The Obama administration's aggressive, full-scale whitewashing of the "war on terror" crimes committed by Bush officials is now complete. Thursday, Attorney General Eric Holder announced the closing without charges of the only two cases under investigation relating to the US torture program: one that resulted in the 2002 death of an Afghan detainee at a secret CIA prison near Kabul, and the other the 2003 death of an Iraqi citizen while in CIA custody at Abu Ghraib. This decision, says the New York Times Friday, "eliminat[es] the last possibility that any criminal charges will be brought as a result of the brutal interrogations carried out by the CIA".

Obama's administration is transparent in terms of cronyism.  Obama wants to make sure future Presidents don't investigate his wrong-doings.
