Obama decides to conceal evidence of torture and prisoner abuse.
And, as the article mentions, his new choice for commander in Afghanistan was commander of prisons and interrogation centers in Iraq- and, presumably, one of those who gave orders to torture prisoners.
This is yet more evidence that there will be no prosecutions, no accountability, for torture if Obama has anything to say about it- and, as the chief law enforcement officer of the nation, he has plenty to say about it.
Anybody else here see any path to torture trials that doesn't involve the removal of Obama from office? 'Cause I don't.
