Americans Want Torture Inquiry, Obama Doesn't
Written by Thomas R. Eddlem
A Gallup Poll released February 12 revealed that 62 percent of Americans want to investigate or criminally prosecute Bush administration officials who authorized torture in the so-called "war on terror." But even though President Obama has said numerous times that "nobody's above the law," on February 10 he used the Bush administration's "state secrets" gambit to quash a lawsuit attempting to penalize some of those involved in renditioning torture subjects.
