He however ruled that the agents who carried out the interrogations would not be prosecuted, as they had acted within the controversial guidelines.

Mr Obama said "it would be unfair to prosecute dedicated men and women working to protect America" for conduct sanctioned by the Justice Department.

This will not prevent Spain or some other Progressive nation from prosecuting them. These agents may never be able to leave the country again.

One of Bushes torture techniques is to be up front and honest. This bugs Obama and he suffers immensely from such blatant honesty. He wants the torture to stop...

The US government released four memos written by the Justice Department in 2002 and 2005 to provide legal cover for methods that have been widely criticised as torture and which the new president has already disowned.

Is it treason yet, Mommy?

This was released to give the Spanish gov’t ammo to prosecute the Bush Administration.

BHO is never going to get over blaming Bush—nor will the media ever get over their honeymoon with him. We can only pray that we remain as safe as we were under Bush, because obviously, there is no adult in the Oval Office looking out for us.

Every time I see Barack Hussein’s mug on the TV is torture.

Furthermore, this title — George Bush’s ‘Torture’ Techniques - George Bush didn’t design the torture nor implement the torture. Let me see - Bugs versus getting your head chopped off? hmmmmm??

Most of all, this coming from BO, the Muslim, who releases Terrorist and states America is “NOT” a Christian Nation, 2010 can’t get here soon enough. A change in Congress will tone him down and in 2012, he can go back to being a Community Organizer in Chicago.

Let’s make BO a One-termer!

At least Bush's interrogators didn't whip The Comfy Chair on them.

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!

I think BHO is trying to chum up the Left to demand an international show-trial in The Hague for George W. Bush and his cabinet officers.

Meanwhile ..... FReep this Obama tingly-leg poll! :

This will all come to a head in a year or so when some islamfruitcakenutcase sets off a dirty bomb or something in New York. Making prisoners talk will become important again.

B.O., George W. Bush knew what he was doing. You don’t.
