Because torture has a legal definition and engaging in it is a federal crime. Many Democrats want Holder to bring prosecutions against the CIA interrogators and have them thrown in prison.

That's so what. It's not a word that should be tossed around lightly and I'm glad to see the Senate report doesn't.

The Hero of Benghazi had to get his beauty sleep rather than allow the evacuation four brave Americans in Libya who were subsequently butchered. But it just raises the hackles on his neck to know that mass murdering terrorists were subjected discomfort during a legal interrogation.

The ultimate POS he is: he took advantage of information gained by so-called torture and did his victory laps when Navy Seals, acting on that information, hit Bin Laden. Now, he turns against the very thing that enabled him to brag about something accomplished by men far better than he will ever dream to be. I despise him more every day. He’s a truly awful person and a worse president.

I doubt you will find anyone on FR who agrees with the traitor in chief on this. If you do, I hope they receive the Zot!

“We did some things that were contrary to our values,” the president added.

>>Like murder 3 American citizens without process of law?

Like aided in the torture, abuse, and murder of a POW, then cackle with glee and take credit for his criminal death.

"WE came, WE saw, HE DIED!!!" - Sec. of State Hillary Clinton on the murder of Momar Gaddafi.

There are war criminals in the White House alright. BO knows this is so. Distraction and misdirection are his only card.

Preparing to preserve our posterity is contrary to HIS values, how dare WE???

HIS values include defending Islamic jihadists.

HIS values include the destruction of the traditional definition of marriage.

HIS values include the suppression of Christian beliefs in the military and corporate world.

Long ago he was asked what "sin was", he said it's that which goes against "his" values. God didn't figure into it.
