O took the step to say if the law can be applied then they should for those in higher positions.

8. My statement to
President Obama was...

Not to Worry Mr. President, We the Patriots of America and all of its Ideals... Have your back in regards to prosecution of persons in the previous administration involved in torturing prisoners. these actions besmirched Our country and its Ideals.

Bringing charges and thus Justice to those who authorized the use of torture... proves to the world we are still the Ideal for humanity.

even John McCain pointed out we tried and then hung Japanese officials who water boarded our service men during WWII.

Justice cannot be held up for their benefit.

thank you for your time in reading this.

12. done. I warned him that I felt this would be a huge stain on his
reputation some day if he didn't do something. I felt his great possibilities and achievements would be lost in the mystification of later generations that he didn't do something. :)

by upwelling of well-reasoned public demands for prosecutions. I love this Prez.

16. What some people here also don't seem to comprehend is that by releasing the memos
even if prosecution didn't happen is still a big step and a huge thing. I can't think of many presidents who would have done even that much.
