Obama Decides NOT to Prosecute Torturers of Detainees, Leaves Door Open for Policy Creators

So the advisors who recommended torture could still face prosecution, bt the people who actually DID it won't. Interesting. The "advisors" actually had no power to give orders, only to offer opinions. The Bush administration gave the orders, and the torturers carried them out, yet the torturers don't have to worry, they "were just following orders."

That wasn't a viable defense at the Nuremberg Trials.
