This issue is not going away because it goes to the heart of what we call American
democracy. If nothing is done to indict the torturers, this will undermine everything
Obama does for his agenda. Moving forward is not sweeping dirt under the rug.

If Holder does take action, this would be a step in the right direction. As indicated by
Madow and Olbermann, torture was used to extract a false confession linking Saddam
to 911. It didn't work when it was proposed and it didn't work under 183 or 80 waterboardings.

This torture did not quash any conspiratorial attempts at blowing up the Library Building in L.A.   That was a manufactured plot. It happened reputedly in February and the torture
was allowed in August after this canard.

Obama better be nice to other world leaders such as Chavez because our country is in danger of being compromised on this issue. No decent civilized country will take our country seriously as long as torture is not prosecuted.

Torture will be up for grabs by any country in the world.
