This "torture" debate shows just how clueless many people are to how Washington operates.
Washington is nothing more than a very powerful well oiled political machine with uncountable moving parts. So forget about integrity and morality. We're talking about political power here. So go ahead and be as cynical as you want to be.
In 2008, Barack Obama and 111th Congress were elected to change the course of the Bush Administration's policies. Not avenge a bunch of socialists and anarchists who didn't vote for them or support them in the first place.
Our current leadership in Washington needs to choose their battles wisely. Not expend all their political capital on trials that will only produce inadequate results. As we've learned the law can be interpreted multiple ways by multiple legal experts.
