It's obvious that the Democrats in charge are scared to death of a real prosecution since they are neck deep in torture, just like the Bush Junta. Now we have Obama who claims to oppose torture, but (a) won't prosecute and (b) wants to set up kangaroo courts that use evidence obtained under torture.
I wonder if the media's support for torture is based on what happened to Julius Streicher at Nuremberg. He ran a newspaper that advocated all the war crimes carried out by the Third Reich and was hanged along with those who did the dirty work. Are they afraid of ending up in the dock, too?
