    And torture will keep happening.

    When there are no consequences for those who devise and implement torture policy, human beings will torture.

    President Obama, with the full force of the Democratic Party Leadership, continues to assert that crimes involving torture, at any level, do not rise to the level of prosecution.

    Add it up, people.

    All the pretty talk about transparency and rule of law is just that: talk.

    Actions speak louder than words.

    Barack Obama is a fraud.
