David Axelrod, on Face the Nation yesterday...
"Well, the president has said, if there were agents of the United States government acting on legal advice that what they were doing was legal and appropriate, that they should not be prosecuted. . . . We're moving past all of that. And to revisit it again and again and again isn't, in the president's view, in the country's interest."
Translation: Nobody, but nobody, but NOBODY will be tried for war crimes or torture if Obama can prevent it.
That's both nonfeasance in office and obstruction of justice, in my book at least.
Impeach Obama.
EDIT: And on a different channel, Rahm Emanuel, Obama's chief of staff, made it even more clear:
Tell me, then... if a thing is illegal, but there's no punishment for doing it, is it really illegal?
Obama, you're not change. You're Washington business as usual. And if you won't uphold the laws of the United States, you shouldn't be President.

Asked Sunday on ABC's "This Week" about the fate of those officials [the officials who authorized torture], Emanuel said the president believes they "should not be prosecuted either and that's not the place that we go."
