FBI Cannot Investigate 'waterboarding'

Postby CHUQ on Fri Feb 08, 2008 3:19 am

Did you really think this would turn out differently?


Testifying before the House Judiciary Committee, Attorney General Michael B. Mukasey said Justice Department lawyers concluded that the CIA's use of waterboarding in 2002 and 2003 was legal, and therefore the department cannot investigate whether a crime had occurred.

"That would mean that the same department that authorized the program would now consider prosecuting somebody who followed that advice," he said.

The CIA sure covered it's tracks well. :roll:
