Holder has made it clear that any investigation -- should there ever be one -- would be limited to CIA torturers who exceeded the "enhanced interrogation techniques" approved by Yoo. So the Bush White House, and Yoo himself, are already off the hook. (Unless, of course, they had a direct operational role in giving CIA personnel the green light to go beyond the approved torture methods.)
Also, Cheney's role in concealing CIA black ops from Congress isn't even part of discussion, according to Holder, despite what that pinhead Brzezinski seems to think.
But apparently, even a timid, limited investigation of conduct that clearly constituted a war crime even under Yoo's tortured legal reasoning is too much for the Villagers to stand.
These guys lost their natural environment when the USSR went down in flames.
