No Charges Over CIA's Enhanced Interrogations

Sometimes you have to shake your head and wonder what in the world the Obama administration is thinking.

For anyone who knows anything about history, why would any administration, Republican or Democrat, ever even consider criminalizing a public policy for which they may disagree?

That is unless, the Obama administration thinks it will govern for life. Don’t they think of the ramifications? How would this administration like to have much of what it is currently doing be examined with a fine tooth comb, just itching for something, anything, for which to criminalize?

I certainly disagree with much of this administration’s policies and look forward to a day when sanity returns to the White House, but I will hope that when the next conservative government takes its place, that it looks forward and not as nearly – pathologically pre-occupied with vilifying and criminalizing the actions of the Obama administration officials…

Of course, as President Barack Obama is hopefully learning, governing is a far cry different from campaigning and by now he must – we hope – be learning that once one sits in the Oval Office, things look differently when it comes to matters of national security…
