Will Obama prosecute Pelosi for torture??

Of course not but he should if he is to be logically consistent. Today, the apologist-in-chief announced that he is open to the possibility of prosecuting Bush administration officials for their roles in drafting the memos on the legality of various coercive interrogations. I will not use the "T" word in this context.

That this statement is not met with derision from legal scholars and commentators on both the left and right is a testament to how far the partisan divide has become and represents the left's ability to compromise principle to promote their agenda. Obama is not contemplating prosecuting the individuals who employed these methods. Instead he is criminalizing thought and is prepared to prosecute ideology. It is simply outrageous to even suggest criminal prosecutions for people who drew up an analysis of whether certain conduct was legal.

However, if one is to believe that such behavior is criminal aren't the members of Congress who were routinely briefed on such matters equally culpable ??
