Think about this

The reason they don't prosecute the lawyers who said it was legal to use those interrogation methods most likely isn't to close the book on it all as they claim. I think it is most likely that they are not sure they could win a guilty verdict. If they could just dictate the outcome they would.

They are most likely afraid of, it not an outright acquittal, at least a hung jury. What would that say about the administration's decision to release the memos. Even more what would it say about all the acres of BS they have been sowing. What would it do to the president's campaign. if he were to be just plain wrong about it all. It's another no guts decision. He can't count on a jury like he could count on the democratic congress. A jury is made up of real people not politicians in a power struggle. So why risk it. It isn't healing, it's just good politics. Every lawyer knows you don't ask question unless you know the answer.

I wish they would try them just to put an end to this bull. As it is they will keep it going into infinity. There will be no one to ask the simple question, if you are standing on principal not politics as usual, then have the balls to throw the dice.
