Eric Holder considering torture probe

Here we go again with the ole liberal bait and switch. All I can say is bring it on and show us how Bush admin protected America for those “poor defenseless” muslim terrorists who love to torture, behead and stone/lash to death Americans. Jews and woman. If you thought the country was divided right now about Hussein Obama and his marxist politicies, wait until this gets underway.  From USA today:

Attorney General Eric Holder is considering whether to appoint a criminal prosecutor to investigate the Bush administration’s interrogation practices, a controversial move that would run counter to President Obama’s wishes to leave the issue in the past.

Holder plans to make a final decision within the next few weeks, a Justice Department official told The Associated Press on Saturday night. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak on a pending matter.

Justice Department spokesman Matt Miller said Holder planned to “follow the facts and the law.”

“We have made no decisions on investigations or prosecutions, including whether to appoint a prosecutor to conduct further inquiry,” he said. “As the attorney general has made clear, it would be unfair to prosecute any official who acted in good faith based on legal guidance from the Justice Department.”

A move to appoint a prosecutor is certain to stir partisan bickering that could create a distraction to Obama’s efforts to push health care and energy reform. Obama has repeatedly expressed reluctance to having a probe, saying the nation should be “looking forward and not backwards” when it came to Bush-era abuses.
